normal but will not start. It had some
collision damage to passenger side but was
not severe. Replaced ignition switch

semed to be tampered with. Is there any
particular things i could check that may be

Check for spark, and check for fuel. When you turn key to on, you will hear a high pitched noise for about two seconds, the fuel pump is in the gas tank. If you don't then you have to diagnose why pump is not running. An emergency trick only is to rap the bottom of the tank, sometimes pump has seized by running car out of gas. Hope this gives you a good start.
