Does the car start? because if it doesn't... then your fuel cutoff has been tripped, likely by the car getting hit closer to the gas tank and tripping the cutoff valve. if it's anything like the cutoff in a '91 escort, you should be able to take off the small panel access in the trunk/hatch and reset the switch, if it's the same, it's pretty easy
I would start off by changing your fuel filter and putting some Marvel's or Lucus Fuel treatment in.
I share your pain when it comes to the fuel cutout light.. for me I came to the conclusion the computer was out of loop from all the stereo wiring that was done in the past.. this includes my idle sensor, oxygen sensor, ect... for cure your problem I would look to an expert to have your computer reset seems it cant be done without specialty equiptment..
Fixing the problem which causes it would be the first step.
either alternator or wrong size battery
is the cutoff switch a normally open or normally closed switch ? If it a normally closed switch as it should be then the switch will need to activate with the ignition in order to supply fuel. There could be a problem with the fuel cutoff relay or a fuse. Also if you are using a non factory key then this might also happen.
fixing would be used as a verb. It would say something like: I am fixing the computer right now.Fixing:She was fixing to buy a new car, but was stopped by her husband.The teacher found that fixing each students mistakes can be a tedious job.The kids discovered some unique rocks while fixing their bikes.We are fixing to go to the mall. Would you like to go with us?
The battery light comes on because: \ 1. The serpentine accessory belt has broken. 2. The alternator has worn out.
get a new alternater
To indicate a problem with the brake system.
While the probable answer is that the fuel cutout has been trigggered by some external shock, Another case where the light comes on is when the ignition switch has shorted. Open in the switch may not cause the same light. Shorted switch can cause the starter to become engaged anytime the gear selector (auto) is in park or nutral.Other shorts in the ignition switch can dump direct to ground without energizing the starter. A battery draw test would show voltage draw in this case but isolating voltage draw on modern cars is very hard with aftermarket or factory valet and alarms engaged. I don't know, but I had that once and had to find the button to reset it so I could start my car again. The button is in the trunk, on top on the right wheel well. Push it and your good to go...Maybe. Can the ignition switch still be bad even if it doesnt engage the started anytime, but its starting and the Fuel Cutout is lighted only when starting?
If no heat fixing was done to a slide with a specimen on it, it would be rinsed off with the gram staining procedure. Heat fixing the specimen does kill specimen but it also locks it in place.
Try checking the switch in the hand lever itself. Sometimes it can get a piece of trash stuck in it.or it can be worn out. On a 93 escort the parking brake light also doubles as a low brake fluid warning light. It may be the same with a 2001. So you could have a leak somewhere.
