Someone PLEASE help me my FC is DEAD :(

Does not start

Plenty of juice in the battery to crank, but doesnt start, not flooded for sure.

When it does start the idle jumps around I hear a BAM and then it dies, go the end of the exhaust theres smoke coming out.

Duno whats wrong wit it ... could be the end of the rex ...

When it does start the idle will literally JUMP from 0-1500 down to like 200 up to 1000 and down again den go down to 0 and die.. after it wont b able to start again ... this lasts less then 3 seconds ...

Anyone know whats up ?

OK you need compression spark and fuel. Check for spark first (search around for the many methods of doing this), then do a compression test. How many miles are on the engine? Good luck man!

Like I dont understand,

I was in a minor accident prior to this however... driver corner...

Everything was fine up til today... i did notice the rpms jumping up and down while i was driving before.. and i noticed my idle was at 2000rpm warm instead of its usally 750-800

I am baffled...

It has 140000 kilometres... probably .... 85000 miles

Well you gotta get that thing open some how. That 2000RPM idle ain't good either, it's probably TPS or BAC valve or something tho. I dunno if the TPS would cause the car not to start, but it could sure cause a high idle if not set correctly. Maybe if it's tuned too low then it won't start?

if the hood is pinned down, maybe its cutting your intake off. with enough time air would work its way into your system again. allowin it to start, and then die really quickly... but I'm just speculating.
