Is your security light staying on? I would guess you need an ignition lock cylinder.

Oil is leaking getting into the cylinders which is being burnt which is causing the white smoke from the exhaust. You might have compression problems or worn valves.

96 chevy cav. 2.2 died after hitting a bump,wont start,but if i hold pedal all the way down, sounds like it is firing on one cylr. but wont get running

Probably something got loose after hitting the bump.
Check the fuel pump, maybe a fuse got loose or burn, or maybe there is no electricity running to the fuel pump.

After a bump it dies and now it wont turn on gas meter not working and no spark it just cranks on my jeep grand cherokee 1996

There should be a reset for the fuel tank. It is a safety switch that they have added to stop fires from rearend collisions. Not sure where it is on your vehicle. Look in owners manual or call dealership.

Car died and wont start

The fuel injector motor or called the Idle Air control module is not the failure. The fuel pump is overheating and dies out. Thus when letting sit a while the engine is starting up again.
I woult take vehicle to local shop and have them replace the fuel pump , I suggest not getting taken for a complete tune up. Just the fuel pump is the most cost effective way .
