Bottomed out on a speed bump and car wont run now
I moved into this new neighborhood with huge speed bumps in it. I usually idle over them and even have to brake on my way down them. Last night, i went over one and did all that, but it wasnt enough. I bottomed something out on it and my car just died on me. I looked under it and there isnt any leaks or anything. It just starts up and dies. I need some help or info on this. Thanks

Just kid of a shot inthe dark here, but do our cars have a fuel pump safety switch on them. Like when there is an accident there is a switch that is triggered that kills the fuel pump so that fuel is not continually pumped out if the car is over turned or what have you.
might be something to look into.
do ypu hear the fuel pump prime when you first turn the key?

are your battery terminals really tight? The same thing happened to mine because my terminals just didnt quite connect right. I just tightened the negative and hasnt happened again since
