    Can you see any fuel dripping when the fuel pump is turned on, if the fuel is draining out because of a broken line the engine might not be getting any fuel to start. Just follow the line starting from the tank and work your way towards the engine.

    I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but I will surely check that first. My wife recently ran over a curb and the abs,tcs light started coming on the cruise control wouldn't work and the fuel miles to empty would flash.

    Ya, check where she she hit the curb on the vehicle maybe a line crimped or a wire broke of or came unplugged and is causing a malfunction. But that would be the easiest thing to do to start with anyways. Let me know what you come up with.
