what the f happened
So I just had the transmission replaced in my svx. I was driving down the highway and I hit a bump. Nothing out of the normal right? wrong, The car instantly shut off and now will not start. It's trying to turn over slowly and the check engine light is going crazy. No I havent tried checking the light yet but has anyone heard of this happening before? I'm just at a loss for words. Any insight that anyone may have for me to check out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
Mike

Check your codes and check your battery terminals.

does the SVX have an impact fuel shut-off? I know I went over some nasty railroad tracks in my 98 Escort ZX2 and shut it off.

Check the cables around the starter aswell. When my '95 came back from the shop after having the tranny replaced they forgot to put on the ground that goes over the top bolt for the starter. The car would not turn over sometimes, and sometimes when the engine would turn it wouldn't start.

ok I tried checking the codes but it would not let me. The light just kept blinking like crazy. I believe that the starter is hooked up right but above the tranny there is a ground wire from the body with some type of clip on it that is not connected to anything. The wires that go from the starter to the battery are hooked up positivly. Is that other wire supposed to be connected to something?
