Hi  my omega 2.0 won't start after i hit a stone which resulted in a broken controlarm, steeringarm and the engine crossmember. at first it started and after that it got harder and harder to start. now it wont start at all  The car gets fuel, but only gets spark now and then. I have changed the sparkplugs and the distributor, but no luck. this is my first car so i have little experience with cars. please help me!  thanks in advance |

First port of call will be the fuel pump relay.
What year was your car built?

Maybe knocked the crank sensor loose? Or damaged it?
When these start to fail it get harder and harder to start until eventually it wont.
Thats my shot in the dark...
Good luck!
