While driving straight, hit a large bump (appx. 30 degree incline) at 30-35 mph. Vehicle immediately stopped running and coasted to side of road. Engine turns over, but won't start. Suspect that something like a fuel inertia switch is to blame since it was a pretty big jolt hitting the bump, but understand that Toyotas don't have one. Need to know if 4Runners have some sort of "fuel inertia switch" which cuts off fuel after an accident or impact, and how to "reset" it.

No, it s not equip with an inertia switch-check the fuel pressure if its within specs-let me know or try blocking the air flap wide open in the airflow meter and see what happens
