I bought a wrecked 89 LX with a 5.0 that had the pass side tire pushed back a little and then rolled. Question is, the eng will turn over fine but it will not start and run. Is there a safety switch some where that has got the fuel pump shut off, If so where would it be? Thanks for any help...........D.J.

open up the hatch of the car. there is a inertia switch that has to be reset that sits behind the plastic molding in the hatch. you should see a (i think) a rubber plug thats in the plastic molding. pull it out, and the switch is right behind it.

The fuel safety switch is right near the rubber plug in the trunk but it usually can't be reached through the plug. It's about five screws to remove the rear trim panel. Also if the car sat on the roof for any period of time oil might have leaked past the rings and fowled the plugs.
