so yesterday I hit a pothole that turned my car off immediately after, it hit on my driver side, the symptoms are the car will turn on but as soon as I try to drive the car it goes off, sometimes the rev goes up and down. I think I might of hit one of the parts near the wheel.

anyone have thoughts on what it could be or has this happened to anyone here before?

messed up your axle?

that would keep the car from staying on?

when the clutch/TQ is not engaged yes, but when you put it in drive it could kill the engine because of the resistance.

If this were a Jeep, I'd say check all your grounds.

Means the alternator isn't charging your battery when the engine isn't running.

I think intercooler hose. Get in on ramps/jack stands/a lift and see what looks like its missing. Could be a few things..
