I need some help guys, I was heading home at about 2 in the morning in the rain, I take a turn, hit a curb, woohoo! No big deal, except my car started bogging. I finally got it home and checked the fuel pressure, it sits at 20 psi whether it idles or I rev up the engine. Nothing. If you could please give me some help. I hit the curb on the passenger side rear (folded part of the wheel in, I know, I'm a dumbass) And I was wondering if maybe I hit hard enough to knock some sediment loose and clogged up the fuel pump filter. I know the fuel filter in the engine compartment is clean, it's brand new. And the fuel pump is a walbro 255. I appreciate any assistance, gents.

maybe something got disconnected like an injector connector,or in the fuel pump assy,or if you scraped the bottom of your car,you could of also crimped the fuel lines,just acouple of things to look at.

P.S. don't feel bad,I got a Tommy Makkinen attack last week and i bit it on the twisties and tore up the front of my car(there was nobody else on the road) and damged one of my rims,oh well, it's FMIC time now.
 
It's definitely not an injector disconnected, it's something in the fuel pump, I believe, but, the whole entire assembly has been rusted up, and the fuel line is nigh unto impossible to disconnect.... but I'm probably gonna pull that tomorrow, and check the pump out..... it's not a fuel line either, I hit the curb with the wheel, and then bounced off and continued on my merry, slow moving, low fuel pressure, busted-ass-wheel way.
