WHAT PART OF YOUR VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED THE COLLISION? WAS THE COLLISION MAJOR?SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE THE REAR SINCE THE TOP HAS BEEN AFFECTED. I'VE WORKED ON THESE VEHICLES AFTER REAR END COLLISIONS AND SEEN THEM WITH DAMAGE TO THE ARMS OF THE TOP MECHANISM. YOUR FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO CHECK FOR FUEL PRESSURE UP FRONT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. NEXT I WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF THE SPARK PLUGS AND INJECTORS ARE FIRING. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO A SERVICE SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. SEVERAL SYSTEM MUST BE CHECKED WHICH WILL REQUIRE SOME DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS.

STOP WRITING IN ALL CAPS!!!!

LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU SIR. I'M A GROAN MAN AND CAN TYPE IN ANY WAY I SO PLEASE. THE PEOPLE HERE IN THIS FORUM ARE ADULTS LOOKING FOR AND SHARING INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES. I THINK THE LEAST OF IMPORTANCE IS HOW SOMEONE CHOOSES TO TYPE. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHAT AND FORUM "ETIQUETTE" SAYS THAT ALL CAPS IS YELLING. GIVE IT A BREAK. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE WHAT SOMEONE TYPES THEN MOVE ON. THEIR ARE SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT SIR.
