Running rough after fender bender

2002, 250k mi

Boy had a front end fender bender, 35mph, dented the bumper and cracked the grill but not bad. Drove it home, no power and a rough idle (sounds like big cam on a drag car). Fires back up fine after shut down. Boys just did glow plugs and harness under the covers last winter. Wonder if an injector got unclipped after the accident? It ran perfect up until accident, no lights. Engine light is on now. Where should I start? Thanks,

Cancel that, running good now. PS valve cover plug was dangling. Plugged it, light went out, smooth as a kitten now. Back to bumer repair....

Dad: " check the valve cover plugs one more time just to be sure"
Boys: "oh yea, one clip was busted when I put new plugs in, that may be it"
