The inertia switch in the trunk is tripped. It cuts off the fuel pump on an impact but when you crank it over the switch gets bypassed and the fuel pump runs. Thats why it wants to start. the switch is a little blach box with a white button in the left fender. Hit the button and you should be in buisness.

If there is no spark, Chek the cap, rotor, and coil.
