No, didn't hit anything, I turned it around in the driveway last night and it started fine. Where is the fuel pump inertia switch?

I Believe it is in one of the kick panels under the dash.check owners manual.check fuses,check fuel filter.hard to believe it wont run at all.check fuses real good.look in owners manual for the important ones.in case you havent heard of inertia switch it is to shut off fuel in case of an accident.good luck.

I checked the fuel pump shut off, and it still wouldn't start. Went back out first thing this morning and bam it fired right up, took it to church and its been starting fine all day today. It idles perfect and runs like a champ, I have no idea what could be going on, any clues?

If you have a security alarm system, it almost sounds like the ignition kill function is malfunctioning.

Maybe it just wanted a day off?? Maybe run by an Auto Zone and get a scan to see if there are any codes.
