Wont start

alright, heres the problem, I have an 88 f150, ext cab, longbed, 4x4, w/302, stick. A couple days ago I reached for my phone hit a curb and it died in the middle of the road, i left it on the side of the road, went to autozone and came back messed w/some wires ect and had a friend tow it home. as soon as I got it parked I tried to start it and it fired right up? so today I decide to drive it to the video store and hit a dip in the road pretty fast and it dies again this time I let it sit about 2 hours and came back nothin, oh yeah one other thing both times the cap came off the power steering and sprayed fluid all over the firewall and inner fender on the driver side. any Ideas???

Did you check the fuel pump deactivate switch behind the passenger kick panel? There is a button to reset it on top. just feel around for it.
