Please help. 1998 sienna won't start...

I never had a since I installed a used engine recently. I just did and oil changed last then a week ago. this afternoon I drove over a railraod track pretty fast, didn't see the big bump. I did not hit anything but went hopped pretty high went I went over the bump. Ater I went over the bump I felt the engine lost power, I gave gas, it wouldn't accelerate, the engine run very rough, the check engine light came on. I pulled over, looked under the van, no fluid leaking, not a sign of an scrape underneath the van. The did start up, ran very rough, put in drive it would just rolled. I had it towed home. I checked if I was getting fuel, fuel is ok. I took off the air box and tried to sstart the van, kept trying and trying then I see some white, mist of smoke coming out from the intake tube. Is my engine gone? Any advices would be really appreciated. thanks.

Hi maybe u should check ur battery terminals, i remember once ours didnt start up the terminals "looked" tight but were actually, slightly loose. Try tightening them.

If the check engine light came on, you should start there by retrieving the code. Your car is trying to tell you something.
