Engine Performance problem
1994 Ford Ranger 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Had a crash into a curb strong enough to smash pass side wheel. Got that repaired but can't step on gas. I can idle, in drive; but as soon as I step on gas, it stalls out. I checked the inertia cut off switch in cab and it is pressed down. Vehichle worked fine before crash. No body damage or engine compartment encroachment; hit curb @15 - 20 mph. Greatly appreciate your time and consideration.

The fuel pressure checks out. I removed the air duct from the throttle body and got a little bit more rpm, but when I put it in gear it still stalls out.
