Did you reset your fuel pump? All new cars have a fuel pump kill switch if they take a big hit or if you hit a big bump.  Dunno where they are at on your car, but your owners' manual will tell you or the dealership

I called 5 different dealerships and ONE said that you could do it but what he told me was to take the positive cable off and hold it to the negative for 10-15 sec but that sounds like a bunch of bull and the other 4 dealerships told me there wasn't a way to do it or it couldn't be done.

There is some truth to rubbing the battery cable ends together. While DISCONNECTED from the battery of course. Dissipating the residual charge can force the computer to reboot when reconnected to the battery. I doubt it will help if the fuel kill has been tripped, though.

Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.

Trade it in for a 68. You may have to give a little to boot but believe me it's well worth it.  :yesnod:

Any chance of getting a wiring diagram and finding out where the kill switch is located?

Done some checking.  They don't have a kill switch, it's a relay.  This is where I found out.

They are talking about the 06 Ram, but I doubt that they'd change it for the cars.
