Hi, I dont know what to say what happend last night, i have a mkIII turbo i traded my full blown race car for and couldnt be happier.. until now.
A honda (Damn honda's) lost control and hit me head on last night. my car still ran as i was about to kill this kid,

well after i start to follow him and get off the main interstate my car started to buck after bout 15 seconds from the accident. it died AND THE KID RAN
Im very low on money and had a friend tow me home. Please guys i have no upper bumper and it doesnt run and the car was literly perfect, 88 garge kept 2 owners and 58,000 ORGINAL miles. all oil changes and tune ups through toyota. but now it doesnt run. PLEASE HELP!!

It turns over, and when you stop i can hear the fuel pump hum once you let go of the key so i assume its working. i can even smell a lil gas after 2 minutes of just turning it over. it sounds like it wants to start once you turn the key but then it goes away and just turns over. i checked spark and no spark. theres no damage under the hood from the accident and it ran for almost 15 seconds after he hit me. Im lil lost under the hood of this car. i assume the cps tells it when to spark when to go... and im not 100% sure spark is the only problem. please help this is now my only vechile for now.

A photo of the damage with the hood up would help; I'm surprised you have an engine problem with no damage in the engine bay unless the air intake to the air filter or turbo intercooler has become squashed. A few items you will need to check are the oil cooler, trany cooler (if an auto box) any electrical cable damage. As you probably know by now, behind the bumper is a steel girder, which should have protect most of the above.

That metal piece took all the amage, not even the ac fan was hurt. i went under the car since the supra is so low. i can supply a pic but its just gonna show a 7m. there literly no damage and the car ran for almost half a minute after the crash just fine, even burnt out. not a stutter. but then nothing. i just checked and my fuel pump is priming.
I just ssold my daily driver and need this car on the road asap. please if theres somthing i can test the coil packs arent getting any juice and the wires are fine.

have u tried the connection to the mass air somtimes a hard enough jar will cause it to loose connectionif the clip has been broke from poss earlier owner check there and double check ur fuel pressure and spark also check that there is no dibry on the screen of the mass air on inside?

its a sc400 maf. and i am getting fuel, all the boost piping is fine and my mass and everything is literly connected.

I got it to run today...
i pulled the plug out to check spark and the was nothing.. after 30 minutes of just turning it over while with my friends (i was lil drunk hince why i sat there damn near burning out my starter) it started up. runs sooo rough would rev out just fine but would not idle the boom, runs just fine just a lil rich due to weak spark. the wires are new the plugs are new, my cps is clean and plugged in. aand now it wont start. the is some sensor malfuctioning some were and turning of my spark. does anyone know what it could be?
