so my gf spun my 92 5.0 around and tagged a wall, slight damage on the rear driver side bumper and tail light but that is all, she was doing about 35 mph, the car cranks and cranks but won't start. i assume the car has a fuel kill when the car feels trouble or what not. but i don't know how to get it back to normal. i disconnected the battery and reconnected it and it didn't do it. i don't smell any fuel and the car has plenty of gas in it. no check engine lights or other lights are on. and it is an automatic transmission. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

The inertia switch might have tripped. It's near the driver's side tail light.

Good luck.

If you open the trunk and look directly behind the left tail light, you'll see a hole in the interior trim about the size of a quarter. The inertia switch is in that hole. Press the button and you should be good to go.

Reset the inertia switch, it is in the hatch area near the left tail light.

hey, in case you haven't figured it out yet, check the inertia switch.

Those fuel shut off switches pop. Push the red button down and it should start right up.

HUH, I guess he got it started.....and quickly drove away from all the help. 19 responses and only 2 pieces of info. Best one being not to let her drive. God I love this place! LOL
