Helpppppppppp plzzzzz!
So i got on an accident last friday. car got messed up anyways thats not the big deal but my engine wont start what could it be no leaks just radiator other than that is good. help what could it be checked fuses ground help doesnt do anything like if you werent pressing the clutch in nothing at all
Did the car stay running with a bad radiator for any period of time? Cause if it got run without coolant you could have frozen your engine. Not likely but not impossible either. I agree with gingas get it checked by a professional to save any further possible damage.

u need to start from scratch.
does the engine turns over? does your dash lights come on?
if it does not, turn your headlights on and crank the engine, if light goes dim, then you are looking at the ignition system which could be electrical or the starter itself for starters.
but let me know.
if you got no headlights and dash lights at all, just check your battery terminals specially the ground side. Make sure the wire are not loose.

He says it's not turning over, as if you aren't putting down the clutch pedal. It seems they have power (lights turn on, CEL for 2 seconds, etc. - is this correct gsrnovice?) but just no action from the starter. I'd assume it's either a connection issue between the battery and the starter or maybe the starter itself. If the ignition turns everything on, just nothing happens in the crank position, I'd rule that out. Otherwise I suppose it's possible that the clutch switch was damaged during the crash :shrug:
Now that I notice that comment, I'm a little confused(proper grammer would be a big help). Are you saying the car was running and it shut off all of a sudden by itself? If that's the case, maybe it is ignition related.
