Vauxhall Zafira does not start after front end crash

I've got a 2005 1.6 petrol Zafira. It was in a front end smash and since then it has not run properly and now does not start at all. After I had the front end repaired it ran for a bit then it stuttered and stopped and it sounds like the fuel pump does not work. There is no spark at plugs.

It may well be one of many things. It may be best to have a diagnostic check carried out which should then highlight what is the problem.

Other than that you would have to check out all electrical connections, to and from the ECU (engine management syytem)then the ignition circuit. Then check the CKP (crankshaft position sensor).

There is a long list of things it could be hence the reason for the diagnostic check.
