Silverado 1500 WT collision no fuel
Long story short, Rear ended a small car. Drove it for a couple of days before I got a rental. I’m going to fix it myself. That’s the long part I won’t get into. Picked it up today to drive it to where I’m going to make repairs. First try starting it it didn’t start. Second time it did but stumbled before o gave it gas and drove off. 1/2 mile later it stalls and can’t be restarted. Engine cranks with authority. The hit was significant but the damage is the bumper, grille, and hood. A/C condenser is bent but radiator is fine. It drove well after the accident. Where do I start troubleshooting this?

I was thinking you might have damaged a component like a fuel line due to tank shifting
during the force of the impact. Instead it was even easier... at least you saved some work.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
The weight of the bottom part of the fuel pump was bent at a 30 degree angle and one of the rods that support the bottom part was broken off. I wish I could post pictures but the damage was extensive. That fuel pump had 307,000 miles on it. I understand that they are normally good for about 140,000 miles. So I got my monies worth out of it. As an added benefit the new pump solved a vibration at idle that plagued that vehicle since I bought it.
