1999 Honda Accord cranking, but not starting after front end wreck.
I have a 1999 2.4L Honda Accord that was just recently involved in a front end wreck. The car will crank, but will not start. Just after the car was put together, the car started for a while, but it looks like it was just running off the fuel in the line and it run out.
It appears to either be having a problem with the lack of fuel or ignition or both.
It will crank, but not catch and idle.
Also, both the turn signals and hazards do not work. All fuses appear to be fine after a quick visual check.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any suggestions, especially the no-start issue.

Welcome!
1999 would have been 2.3L, right? Manual or auto tranny? California (ULEV engine?)
It started "for a while" but how long was that? Just running off the fuel in the line shouldn't last more than a few seconds (if say the fuel pump wasn't running).
You do need to figure out lack of fuel vs. lack of spark.

Hey thanks for the help but it started again. Apparently there was nothing wrong with it, I just hadn't tried to crank it enough times.
My brother and I had already checked to make sure the fuel system was working when I cranked it once more to show a friend and get his input. It caught for a little but then died. After a few more cranks it was running fine. I guess the engine had just gotten a bit starved after sitting idle for a few weeks.
Anyway, all problems are fixed now, I just need to change out the radiator fan. Thanks again for the help.
