My parents have a 99 Chevy tracker. it was in an accident and has been sitting for a while. The accident messed up some susupension pieces but the engine ran before we put it up on blocks. Now that everything is fixed, the car wont start. The battery is fine, the car cranks but it won't start up.

Any ideas what could be wrong? Any ideas what i should check?

Usually there's a fuel shutoff switch that trips when you get in an accident. My guess is it probably needs to be reset but I have no idea where it's located on that car.

Look at the crank and cam position sensor.
Have you tried to pull codes?

When i look at the crank and cam position sensor what should i be looking for? and i haven tried pulling any codes cause the car was running right before we put it into the garage.

I think the sensors are magnetic.
Connect an ohm meter to the leads and lay a screwdriver on the end of the sensor to see if the resistance changes.
try to run the codes and see what it says It might just tell you.

I didnt mean that to sound insincere.

i checked all the fuses. they're all good.

is it possible that the injectors have somehow become "stuck" and cannot spray fuel into the cylinder?

i'm not too sure what would cause them to get stuck or if they could get stuck. Maybe one of these guys will chime in. Have checked the plugs? Maybe they got a little gunked up from sitting? You could probably smell one of the plugs for fuel after trying to crank it too.
