2002 Wrecked Vette Won't Start
We recently got in a vette that was sitting in a dealership when it was involved in an accident. A car on the highway in front of the dealership came off of the road and hit several cars, including the vette. Our vette was shoved sideways, so it has damage on both sides. Anyway, it won't start. It turns over but that's it.
Any ideas on getting it to start?

Pull the codes and post them. Include the H or C or HC that follow the codes. Don't know how? Try here:

If the pcm is just hanging there its a very good possibility that some wires got pinched or cut during the wreck. There is a lot more force being transferred than you realize in a wreck and if it got knocked loose then it had to have put a lot of pressure on the wires.
