My sweet little car listed above has never had any kind of issues before; ever. Until about 8 months ago I was headed home and right before my road I hit a small divot in the road, which was where it looked like the town had done some water line work. It didn’t jar the car hardly any but, as soon as I hit it the car shut off and hasn’t fired up since. I replaced fuel pump when this happened and don’t know what it could possibly be. Please help I have another car but I’m having separation anxiety. Lol

Yep, we get attached to our cars :) Can I ask if the engine cranks over? And if so, will it run on starting fluid? We need to see which system has failed so we don't head off in the wrong direction.
