f150 running rough
Hey Truckers,
I have a 2000 F150, up until 2weeks ago it was tight and still pulled the power. However I had a BOWTIE driver pull out in front of me and recieved some major body damage. Nothing major : - I was able to drive away from the accident
it wasn't until the drive home I realized I had a severe miss - after tearing into the front clip on the right side I listed the following items in need of replacement - right fender, grill, headlight support, core support, right headlight assy, bumper assy,and the hood. All that is light stuff my problem is that after looking the wiring over I could not find any "shorts" yet I'm still popping the fuel shut off fuse 
??? and at one point almostr smoke all the injectors on the right bank. Went thru the wires again found nothing that stood out - have not opened looms yet but I'm now getting the service engine soon light
Any body got some info or experience with something like this?
This will be a home project as we went to the police station to do the report the other drivers insurance has stated that since an officer did not investigate the scene their insured will not be accepting liability.
So help !!!!!! please

I would agree with Steve, pay your deductable and get the truck fixed. Let them go after his ins company. Once they finish the subrogation process, you should get your deductable back.
Be aware, if you go this route, you might want to stop shade tree working on the truck, as your ins company is going to want pictures, which should not include parts on the floor, unless they were made that way from the accident.
If you really want to continue fixing the truck on your own dime, let me see if I got this correct ( the posting drifted around a bit ) :
1. The fuse that feeds the fuel pump via the fuel inerita cut off switch keeps blowing ?
2. Something about the right bank injectors (Almost smoked them ) ? What is really going on with them ?
2.1. Is there smoke coming from the wiring harness ?
3. You have a DTC set ( indicated via the CEL on the dash ), which you do not have the number for.
