Default Argh!! Why Won't It Start?

hi guys,

In the late summer, I was driving, spun out doing 80km/h, and landed in the ditch. The car is in very good shape, except for the taillight...The problem??

Now my car won't start. when I tried to crank it, it would start to turn over, and 2 seconds later (when u turned the key back to the on position) it would die. It did that for a while. Now, it won't even turn over at all...The starter is fine, spark plugs all produce spark, inertia switch has been reset, ignition switch has been replaced, as well as the relay checked. I don't know what the problem could be?

The fuel pump?? It won't turn on when you crank it from the key...
Well, we then bypassed the relay (under the drivers seat) and managed to turn the fuel pump on from there. Then we tried to crank it....nothing!!

Could it be my inertia switch in the trunk?? We tested the resistance of the switch both when it was tripped and reset.

Tripped - 147 ohms (over a 200 ohm scale on the multi-meter)
Reset - 0.3 ohms (over a 200 ohm scale on the multi-meter)

This is soo frustrating!!!

If anyone knows what I could check, or what potentially COULD be the problem, please help!!

THANKS!!!
Erik...
