Default ECM after wreck?

I have a question, ok my 94 camaro z28 was wrecked and the Air bags deployed.

We tried to start the car after and it wont start.

Did the computer get messed up or soemthing?

the motor, tranny, and rear end were not touched in the accident!

any suggestions?

i figured it was a PCM i wasnt sure.

Well from what i can remember the car was still running after i was hit. i turned the car off, but when the CHP officer tried to start my car he said it wouldnt start?

could be any number of things really. Just because the motor was not externally damaged doesn't mean you couldn't have something broken.

yeah this may be a touch off subject but not really... but when i totaled my 95 f150 by hitting a deer head on and the bags went off it stayed running after the fact... and it still runs today without any motor work done to it afterward.... just had to replace the radiator and said the hell with the air bag and cut it out lol
makes for a good beater

The motor was not touched at all just the front passenger side and the rear passenger side.
