MO How can I get my car running?

I got a 88 Se with a t2 engine and drive train with a trek 1.6 ecu. My mom's friend hit my car in my drive way and pushed it into a tree that was 2 feet in front of it. It broke the intercooler and smashed the piping. I can't get it to run long enough to move it. The fuel pump is hardwired so the inertia switch shouldn't be a problem. But it won't run. Is there any way to make it start without the afm? I don't have new piping or a intercooler at the moment. I'm broke.any ideas?

As soon as I prove it was him he's going to. I just need to get the car back in my garage before I can get the new parts.

There is probably too big of an air leak for it to run. Connect the intercooler pipes without the intercooler

you may be able to just plug the hole with some ductape or something... like keep wraping it around and around, ( so it cant suck it in).

What gross said, you got a massive leak. Duct tape or some cling wrap, easier to take off if you want to reuse any piping.

Go to home depot and buy plumbing pipes and couplers $20 maxx. Then connect the IC pipes together
