Does it sound normal when cranking over or does it sound different than it did when it was running? Perhaps the car not running after it got hit is coincidental and no because of that fact. If you have fuel pressure and supposedly the cam and crank sensors are good perhaps the actual cam timing isn't correct.

Don't know if it's possible that the chain jumped a tooth or some other mechanical failure happened to effect valve timing.

Check wires everywhere for any kind of damage. My mini was running fine when I got home one day and wouldn't start when it was time to go to work. Turns out a squirrel had chewed through the wiring going to the fuel pump.

I’ve been researching your problem in the hopes of finding a solution. Everything I’ve found pointsbto the DME when codes 2301 and 2304 exist simultaneously. There’s a company called RPM MotorSports that can check your DME and verify it’s condition. Otherwise go over your wiring connections carefully especially between the DME and coil. I know you had the DME repaired, but it sure is coincidental that it had an issue and now you still have no spark. Check all the connectors for corrosion bent pins etc. Link to RPM follows. https://www.rpmmotorsport.net/collec...-year-warranty
