Hi,

If the starter is working, try this and let me know the results. See if it will start for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is fuel related. If there is no change, then it is likely ignition related. In that case, check to see if there is spark to the plugs. Here is a link that explains how that is done. This will help narrow things down for me, so I know which circuits to focus on.

Also, let me know how bad the bump was, if anything under the vehicle hit, or anything you can think of that may help.

Take care,

Joe
