purely speculation, but there's probably a detonation system for the battery positive cable that was probably detonated due to the impact to stop the fuel pump... the cable system may need to be replaced... you may also need a new battery... have your bodyshop call your dealer...

i know there is in BMW's... ( i know... i know... different car)

Well...not sure what a detonation system is...but I agree that if the car has been sitting for a while undergoing repairs, the first place I'd look is the battery.

I am not 100% sure but i believe the s2000 has an inertia switch that ,during an impact, opens the fuel pump circuit. The switch can easily be turned back on. Not 100% sure but i can try to find out later tonight.
