Fuel cutoff switch?
I searched for this already but can't find anything...
Long story short, I spun my evo last night and hit a curb. Nothing is severely damaged and everyone is alright, but the car wouldn't start afterwards. I'm thinking it's because I may have tripped a fuel cutoff switch...but I haven't been able to confirm that:
1) there is a fuel cutoff switch on the Evo IX
2) it could get tripped by inertia
3) where it is located.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm hoping that this is the only problem and that I didn't damage something internal.

I know there wasn't one on the Evo 8. I hit a tree square doing about 80 in reverse and the car started up just fine right afterwards.
Yes, I needed to start it in order to move it about 5 feet so I could get out of the car (it was wedged in between 2 other trees).
Will your car turn over but just not run? If this is the case, then another possibility would be the lack of spark.

Wow. May i ask why you hit a tree doing 80 in reverse? I didnt think the car would even go that fast in reverse... I know a guy who got pulled over for speeding in reverse... haha. He was doing 50 in a 35 and being an idiot. He drove on IX MR until he totaled it.
Ended up looking like this:

In fact, once the car was in the scrap yard, it still started up.
Have you determined if it is spark cut or fuel cut yet?

I found it. The wiring diagram was listed in this post.

Maybe you can trace the fault back with that. I cannot find an inertia switch.
