If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned. Check under the vehicle to make sure nothing was damaged such as the exhaust system. If it has too much back pressure, it will lose power. Also, check to make sure there are no fuel leaks from the bump. NOTE: Most parts stores will scan the computer for free.
