engine doesn't start

i had an accident with my fc, frame was bent, and cooling system is history but the good thing is that the engine wasn't hit.

two days ago i went to check the car, first time i tried to start it didn't start, so i tried again and as soon as it started it died on me, and saw some somke comin out from the back and smelled some gas.

i tried that again and again, but every time it starts the RPM goes to 2000 and dies again within a second or less.

i tried to see if its flooded, so i took off the sparks plugs but there wasn't gas comin from out there, so i put em back tried to start the car again but this time didn't start at all.


some help please.

you probably have some damaged wires that you can't see

like what?
something else when i open the hood just right after the accident i noticed that the air filter was smashed.

does the radiator has to do any thing with that??
or maybe something concerning the fuel system?>i guess it's something in the fuel system, i don't know what but does this type of car cut the fuel off the engine in such accidents ?
