Hit a bump and it just died 850

I've got a 93 850 with about 150,000 miles on it. I went over some railroad tracks a little to fast and it was a pretty good bump. The car instantly died--all the warning lights came on--electric was fine but the car wouldn't start back up. It was turning over but it is like it isn't getting any spark. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bill

    It turned out to be the fuel pump. In looking back the car hadn't been running all that great for a little while and i had noticable loss of power. Also the car since I bought it had never started on the first turn of the key--I always had to try to crank it--then stop turn the key off then try again and it would start just fine. Now that I have the new fuel pump it runs better than when I first got it about 50,000 miles ago. Had the work done by a local shop and it ran me $638.00 for parts and labor and that included the towing.

    Thanks

    Bill

    My 1995 Ford Explorer has an impact switch that is supposed to turn off the electric fuel pump whenever the vehicle is hit. This is a safety feature that is supposed to reduce the liklyhood of a fire in a crash. Guessing that your car may have the same type of safety switch that possibly was tripped by the bump. On the ford, there is a reset switch under the dash on the passenger side.
