While driving, drove over a piece of wood that hit my fuel tank and caused my car to shut-off. Checked all fuses and relays, they are good. I can feel the fuel pump come on when key in the on position, but no fuel getting to throtle body. Car will start if fuel is poured directly into throtle. Why am I not getting fuel from the fuel pump?
