Car won't start
Hi everyone,
I have a 1999 1.6VTI (B16A2) Civic.
After sliding down a verge (no damage, but steep verge); she won't start. The engine turns but won't catch.
I first suspected ignition, but all checked and is ok.
So fuel is the only other logical choice. Is there some kind of safety feature that cuts the fuel after a 'crash'? Any other ideas?
Thanks

Did the air bags deploy? I'm assuming no. Do you mean that the engine start to go but dies before it actually turns over and fires up, or that it primes and just tries to start like a person with a dead battery.. Check your grounds, wiring to starter, battery, alternator..

No airbags deployed.
It just turns over. Like if you have a new battery, but no spark plugs.
Checked the electrics (when I check the ignition components). Hence why I think some kind of fuel-cut issue.

Timing off? How would that have happened?
Tried a jump start, no luck, so definately not battery related.
There are no leaks, so I would assume that is ok. ?
