It is a 90 GT. It was in a little front and rear collision. No airbags went off. The car cranks and cranks but will not start. There is no pressure in the schrader valve, and I do not hear the pump turning on. Am I missing something? It ran fine until the accident.

there is an inertia switch on the fuel pump that will cut off the fuel to the engine after an accident... not sure exactly how to get to yours, but any mechanic should know how to reset it

Open your hatch and look at the back driver side where your tailights are. You will see a circular rubber plug, pull the plug out and reach in behind..... It may be easier to just pull the plastic panel off, its only a few screws to do it and it will provide you a better idea of what you are looking for. You are looking for a small rectangular black box with a button on the top of it. Probably a bad description of it but I do not have my camera right now to take a picture of it. Just make sure the button on the top is pressed down.

Here is a picture of what you are looking for. Just scroll down and look at figure 4 on the web page below.
