won't start

[thomas!!]

Impact was on the passenger side, mainly the door... anything in particular to check, other than that that has already been mentioned?

 

[thomas!!]

i went to my house today... I heard no whining of the fuel pump, so that will be step one i guess, getting the tank down and out to replace it...

 

[Sketch o5]

i dont think you need to drop the tank to replace it. you can do it thru the backseat/trunk

 

[thomas!!]

oh... awright

Check it before you just start replacing things. If you're not sure what to do, take it somewhere.

 

[thomas!!]

ok, so other than not hearing the pump, what else should i check?
electrical connections?

 

[BlkCurrantKord]

A little more info on your part would help. We're kinda shooting in the dark here trying to help you.

Do you hear the pump? Does the car crank but not start? Does it make any sound? Do you know how to check for spark? Was anything damaged in the accident?

 

[thomas!!]

I do not hear the pump.
The engine turns over.
No, I don't have a timing light, nor do i know of another way to check for spark...
All the damage appears to be body/cosmetic: door, two dents in rear, and scuffs on bumper....

Try this...



Put key in, turn to on, don't start.
Turn it all the way back but dont remove key.
Repeat 2-3 times.
3rd-4th try, see if it starts
