Icon3 car won't start need help already read everyone won't work topics

hey i recently just got into an accident and my front end got messed up and i drove it home fine and i just finished fixing my front end and tried to start me car and it won't turn over. i heard the fuel rail its getting fuel. i check my injectors there getting fuel. checked my fuses all good, checked my kill switch everything fine, checked my belt all good, just replaced my spark plugs, cleaned my distributor cap, the wires on it is in order, adjusts it, so now what else could it be? cause like i said i drove it home still and it ran fine besides my core support was like up against my motor and my radiator got busted. so help please!!!

Maybe it got overheated and once everything contracted it seized up. Can you rotate it by hand. The problem is its not turning over at all right?

Check the rotor ignition inside of the cap...it could be worn out and not hitting all of the points.

Have you checked for spark? Hold one of the spark plug wires to a bolt and try to start the car.

Is it cranking and just wont start or not even cranking?

Could be more then just the rotor and cap. Could be the pcm or something like that.

He said it wasnt turning over at all. So lets get this thing spinning so you CAN check spark.

Wait, so what the hell was it? Why was your motor not turning over? And why did you still drive it when the "core support was like up against my motor and my radiator got busted."
