i have the same problem... it depends on if its trying to turn over or not... start from the begining on how a motor works... is it turning over? if so... then why isn't it fireing? check plugs and all electrical connections... if you do got spark then why isn't it starting? are you gettin gas? check all fuel related parts... if its getting gas and spark then you might wanna get deeper... check all fueses and sensors... make sure everythings working correctly... and if not then... well i guess your S.O.L.....

anyway my problem is that the bottom half of the motor turns over but the cams in the head don't move... the timing belt is still connected to the bottom half so what the hell? i hope i didnt lock the head up... or can you even do that? idk but if anyone can help me lemme know...

What would cause a Toyota Tercel to die and not start when you barely hit something with the front bumper?

Could be an electrical connection came loose. It could have loosened from the vibrations of normal driving over time, then when the gentle bump was received, it completely disconnected. Could also be that the bump might have triggered the emergency fuel shut-off switch (aka inertia switch) if your vehicle is equipped with one. You might check your owner's manual to see if your vehicle is equipped with one and where it is located.

Why would the shut down of your digestive system be deadly?

if your digestive system were to shut down then when you ate the food would have no place to go & it will just sit there until it becomes too much for your body to handle. Then your body will start to shut down & eventually you will die from this.
