I'm still kinda new around here so I appologise in advance if someone has already posted this question.

I bought a 98 GT Limited back in November for $800. The guy let his daughter drive it and she hit a deer at 45mph, almost totalling the car. I had to replace the right intake cam gear because it was shattered in the impact ( the radiator was pushed back into the engine).

Anyways, I got the engine back in time but it wont idle. It revs absolutely fine but if I try to put it in gear it just dies. Check engine light is on, the engine ticks pretty loudly, and I got a code p0440 from an OBD 2 scanner. Evaporative Emission Control System. Also, the scanner said something about a cam sensor too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you replace the cam sensor too? Could have gotten damaged with the accident.

Check your gas cap for the p0440 code.
