i hit a big solid piece of rubber the other day and since then my car wont start i hit it good but it wasnt as bad as i had braced for when i figured out it was going to happen.. the car died immediately and now it wont start. there wasnt any real damage a small portion of the bottom of the radiator has a small dent in it but it was on the lower outside lip of the bottom and very small not affecting the radiator performance.. then you can se where it cleaned the oil pan and the rest of the way down where it shined everythign up there is a small dent on the fuel tank shield but its not deep enough tio have contacted the tank under... i have torn apart my entire interior looking for a cut off switch or something.. under the car i see no way any wires got damages as its on the right center part of the car and nothing is there all the way back... the engine light flashes and the motor cranks... nothing else happens anty ideas . I already have scoured the carinside and out... if theres a klill switch there those engeneers should work for the cartel cause it is in a really good hiding spot

You should check all your fuses, particularly the one for the fuel pump.

Wow....that sucks. Well if the wiring, relays, and fuses are all good that just leaves the pump. Drop the tank and see if direct powering it kicks the pump on.
