Default Collision and Engine Running - 09-24-2003 , 07:37 PM






My '93 Altima was in a rear ended and now it it not running. I tried
pussing the red button in the trunck but that does not help.
The car will start and run really bad but if you step on the gas at
all it will die.
Any one have any ideas?

It's possible the rear-ender did some damage to the fuel feed lines and the
engine is starved for fuel. There is a test that can be done whereby a
pressure gauge is attached to the fuel feed line under the hood to determine
the fuel pump pressure. That test might confirm this.

Yeah. You need a dictionary.

Most probably a damaged fuel pump from the collision or damaged fuel lines
