i recently got into a car acident in the front end. ijust took apart the front and my car wont turn on. everything in the engine look good. my question is with these cars is there anything i have to reset or something to get it started?

 

1) what kind of car do you have?

2) being that it was in an accident, that's probably why your car isn't starting. Not because you took the front end off.

 

its a 97 civic EX.

 

LOL. Dude, we need a lot more information that the vague **** you just posted. We need pictures, a description of items damaged/broken in the acccident, etc...

 

its a 97 honda civic EX coupe. d16Y8.

 

the whole engine look good. engine mounts are fine. it just seems like the fuel pump doesnt pump gas.

 

hey wanna sell me those side skirts?

You got into an accident that bad and are wondering why your engine wont start?? ??

I mean... look at that thing. Your rad's are bashed in to what looks like the point that they are jamming your fanbelts.

Most likely he has a single core 1/2 sized normal rad that comes with the civic, also civic's don't have fan belts...they are electronic

I meant the belts running A/C, Powersteering, even alternator.
My mistake , i used the wrong terminology, lol.

bro every body knew what u ment just being ackward.

and to the OP that car is past savable if ur insurance company will total it off then say good bye to it. probly not even worth parting it out unless u had alot of after maket parts on it.. if u only have liability then yeha part it out and get what u can out of it.. but even if it was me i wouldnt fix it.. car wont be staright ever again.. it sucsk yeah but we all been there... good luck in ur quest to start the car..... just buy a new one
for the wreck..

 

There's a big ground right where that slight dent is in the hood - make sure it's still making good connection.

It's probably a ground someplace.

 

well i check the belts and they are fine. it looks bad but the only thing that was raken out was the radiator. is it because of the impact that something went wrong inside the engine?

 

there is reset button under the dash on the passenger side.
when you press it the just goes back to its truest form.lol
naw but make sure you ground contacts are well contacted.

 

That car is done

 

youp that is how they all look at the junk yard.
sorry for your loss.

 

ouch!.
