My car was stolen, and when I got it back the ignition had been pulled out and it looks like it was in a slight fender bender because there is a small dent on the front bumper. I put in a new ignition with key. When I try to start it the engine cranks and it sounds like it is going to start but will not. I checked the fuel pressure and there was no fuel pressure. I have heard from a few people that when you get in a wreck that the fuel system will shut down and I have also heard that the same thing will happen when you have a anti-theft system. Is there a reset switch for the fuel system somewhere or could it be something else? I also found a fuse box on the floor behind the center console and if I tested it right the fuse box does not seem to be getting power.

I f you put a new ignition in then a mechanic has to program it to your security system otherwise it will never start.
