trying to start wrecked camaro
so i was involved in a front impact accident in my camaro a while ago, and hit pretty hard. Engine didnt leak, oil level is still up, so engine block should be fine.
recently ive tried to start it but all that happens is the engine cranks and turns over but doesnt start. at first i couldnt hear the fuel pump turn so i checked the fuses and found one in the engine compartment that had blown after replacing it with a good, i tried starting it again. but still the same thing occurs turns over but doesnt start and this time I do hear the pump turn on.
any one have any ideas on starting it?
someone mentioned an inertia switch being pulled during the impact that could be casuing the engine not to start?
Any information is appreciated
Thank you

Inertia switch, if equipped will kill the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is running, that's not The problem. If your mass air sensor got damaged it might not start. Also check fuel pressure at the rail. The fuel lines run across the driver's side strut tower. They may be damaged. Make sure you check for any and all leaks. If you have a fuel leak you could easily end up with more than a wrecked car.
