I was in a car accident last night. A car backed into the front of me. My car would start right after but it stalls out. Now it will not start at all. I am not sure what to do to get it to start. Where are the relays located?

can be a multiple of reasons -will start with check for fuel pressure -possible fuel pump/fuel filter ---in need of a tune up ---egr valve --cat converter--battery - these components sometimes dont set off a check engine code but if you did or do have a code have it scanned most auto stores offer this service for free

If "VOLT" or battery symbol is lit when engine is running, the alternator is not charging the battery. Replace alternator.

sounds like a blown head gskt,water getting into cylinder and drowning out spark plugs causing car to die

you could have a sticky EGR valve, also the ign module could be going bad

-First check for broken spark plug wire.

What are the conditions when it stalls ?
And does it start back up ?

Have the battery and alt tested for free at the local parts store.
Tell them what it's doing, and start suspecting a fuel issue.
Could be getting the right amount of fuel but not burning it. (plugs, wires, coil)
Or could not be getting enough fuel.

Still hard to say, so get the charging/power system checked first.
Let me know what you find out as I'm real curious now.

Same happened to a friend and it was the fuel pump....
Same for another friend and it was 2 bad coil packs.

it could be a bad fuel pressure regulator. or a blocked fuel filter. heres the regulator symtoms. the vehicle runs rough, the engine will not start ( usually in the morning )many times engine starts but stalls shortly after starting. a bad regulator can result in fowled spark plugs, replacement is only cure. ( black soot on plugs, blake smoke from tail pipe, running rough and stalling. check fuel filter first.

mcdevito75 Here, It"s possible the ignition Module is going bad, no way to test and if so, one day the car will not start at all.----------It can also be a vapor loc, wher the fuel is evaporating before it reaches the cylinders. Best Bet, have your local shop check both these items.
