car won't start

My car was involved in an accident on the front end,nothing serious,the car would start, but now for some reason it want,i initially thought maybe it was a fuel cutoff switch,that shuts the fuel off in an accident,but it would run,it has been sitting for a while,now when i try to start it,it cuts off as soon as it, starts.Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this.Your help would be appreciated.

No idea bro. Just get the dealer to tow it and fix it. He'll be doing the body work won't he?

Re: car won't start

have you tried how to reset the ignition? I've read it on the manual, your car thinks that maybe its stolen and the ignition kill will activate, this will happen if the car will fail to start I think 3 times? there is a procedure to reset this..
