i wrecked my accord about january of 2007. it has sat now since i got it back from the shop . it wont start. it dosent turn over, the fuel pump kicks on and the spark plugs are all new but there is no spark. could it be the computer?

i put gas in it but when i last drove it i parked it on e. could it be that there isnt enough gas in it to register?

remember im a chick......

bad thing is you wrecked it, it's always easier to break than to create smth. Just buy another car and drive carefully

What part of the car was damaged when you crashed? If the damage to the engine bay was substantial, then don't try to start the car. You will just end up destroying the engine.

Get a repair estiamte from a shop before you try to get the car running again. It may not be worth fixing.

Have you charged the battery? Batteries don't like to sit for that long. Clean the battery terminals while you are at it (without the battery in the car). If there isn't enoug charge, then the engine may turn and the fuel pump may run, but the engine won't start. Next, check the fuses and the relays (they should click on). Push down on all the spark plug wires while you are at it. If it's still not running, get it to a shop. By that time, you will be looking at either the ECU or something in the wiring. And those will not be cheap or easy fixes.
