Today I rear ended some one and it wasn't too fast that I hit him at but the bumper of the other car was over the top of mine so it did some damage. It wasn't too bad but the radiator got pushed into the fan and bent it. It will turn over but will not start. I was thinking that there is something with the computer that caused the fuel to cut-off but resetting the computer did not work to start it. Do you think that there is some damage to the engine? it looks like it should be fine but I'm not sure.
I'll get some pictures and more details up soon. Thank you guys!

So I discovered today that the fan clutch was bent from the impact. Is it possible that there was damage to the engine because of that? that was the only part that impacted the engine because the radiator was pushed into the fan. Any input would help cause I am trying to figure out why it won't start.

i'd like to help, but nothing i can say will help you. That looked like a pretty hard hit.

Well thank you anyways lol. Would an impact to the fan cause engine damage it looks like there is almost no room for it to have moved anyways. has any one had experience with this?

Can you take a pic of the fan and radiator?

Ok so now I figured out why it is not starting. It is because there is no spark. Is there anything besides the coil that would cause this? I know there is no immobilization device on the car so I am trying to figure this out.
thanks!
