97 850 Starting Troubles 850 1997

So, I just got in a moderate fender bender with my 97 855R. I'll need to replace a the hood, grille, lights, header, and a/c condenser. But meanwhile the car won't start. The battery is fine, there is a strong spark, the fuel pump is delivering. My guess is that the fuel injectors are getting a message from the computer. I checked the connections to the air filter, which the computer monitors, and they appear to be fine; the filter is not clogged. I thought maybe disconnecting and reconnecting the battery would reset the computer and that would solve the problem, but even then it would not start.

My next step is to get out the voltmeter and check the fuel injectors to see if they're live, but haven't done that yet. Any thoughts on where to go from here?

Thanks,

~Josh
