hey toyota fans
i got a 94 camry v6 xle and i was in a fender bender my airbags got deployed and since then my car wont start.it will crank and turn on then die. after a couple hrs of messing around i figured this the fuel pump is not kicking in. i checked the EFI relay and it seems fine i switched it with the AC MAN and still cranking. i removed my rear seats and then bridged the F and BP(Somelike that i forgot them name) and the pump kicked in just fine. so then i decided well let me have my friend hold the terminals bridged and i cranked the car and she started perfectly and sounded perfect. he then let go and the car died. so something is stopping the fuel pump from starting and need help. the only thing i can think of is there a safty switch somewhere or does the detectds my airbags deployed or could the relay be bad.

I'm with Strega N Reeves, ... seems theres much info on airbags but nothing real specific, I'm NOT real experienced in airbag systems, and after a few searches, and some browsing I would say the worst case scenario would be to get it to a dealer / repair shop with a scanner to reset the system Here's a few links that may help stimulate thoughts of things to check
