fuel cutoff switch? did you check it? Driver side left side of foot well

 

[alexthejew]

ohhhh no i didnt. where is it? near the dead pedal?

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

yeah, should just have to push the button if its tripped.

 

[alexthejew]

i love being a part of an awesome forum. sorry ill go try that.

 

[alexthejew]

just to double check. im looking at the wiring diagram. the inertia fuel cutoff switch?

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Were the last words you said before the accident go something like this? "Hey girls, watch this!"

Good luck with the repairs (ego and car).

Yes, inertia fuel cutoff switch. It's right by the driver left foot recessed in the kick panel.

With you standing outside the car have someone turn the key to ON but do not start, do you hear the fuel pump kick on? If not start checking fuse #41 or 42 I think, one of those is the fuel pump fuse.

So what's the update?

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Im wondering what else is damaged on his car. Pretty low to be fighting a curb and a ditch.

 

[alexthejew]

heres the update...

1. pushed the fuel cutoff switch and the car started.

2. i have a flat tire, but i have 4 new ones in my garage.

3. the power steering doesnt work at all

4. there is an exhaust leak

5. badly cracked front bumper

6. major scuffage on the tubular k member and oil pan. no leaks in oil pan, no bent a arms, no real damage apart from whats already noted. ill check again in the morning when there is light out. i already called out of work. gonna try and tighten down the headers in the am tomorrow and take pics for you all to see.

could have been worse, glad you at least got it figured out so you can get it back together. I'd be giving jewc75 some serious rep for diagnosing your problem.

Really sorry this happened but sometimes is the only way to learn, most of that have some years under the belt done that or worse.

Hope there is no structural damage on it.

Maybe it suffered of amnesia.
