Car won't start
I live in indiana and have had a lot of snow recently, my girlfriend got the car up onto a snow drift, i had to forcibly get it out (i.e. forward reverse forward reverse) and in doing so i caused an exhaust leak. It drove for a while then died. we thought it caused the already deteriorating fuel pump to go out, but i have replaced the pump, and put in new spark plugs but i still cant get it to turn over. Could this be caused by the exhaust leak? or any other ideas?
Re: Car won't start
what exactly happened when the car drove and then "died"?
an exhaust leak alone would not cause the engine not to start,
you need a spark, air, gas, and compression for the engine to start, you need to find out whats missing

It started off very laggy, not getting enough power to the engine, then finally stalled, i could get it to run for a while if i kept my foot on the gas no matter what but if i let it drop down in rpm it just died.
I'm no expert but i thought it was the fuel pump replaced it, no luck.
Looked into some stuff online thought i'd try the spark plugs, still no luck.
