My car wont start!
So my car has been sitting on jack stands for the past month and a half because i smashed into a curb at about 45. long story short my car wont start now. I have started it a few times while it was on the jack stands. but while i was letting it run it shut off on me and hasnt started since. it has a quarter tank of gas and its on level ground and i figured it would start right up... It didnt! I have a code reader and no codes came up at all. and i called roadside assistance and tried the fuel pump reset. Nothing!!! any help would be great. I want my car back!!!!!

OGCLK320,
Check your parking cutoff switch, move your shifter back and forth then try starting your car. The same thing happened to me last week, I found out that my shifter wasn't fully forward and not engaging the switch. After I found out what it was I adjusted the throw bar by the transmission so the switch would always be made when in park.
Hope this helps,
Rusty
