engine start up after rolling truck

Yup... I rolled my beast. I have a 93 runner with a 4 inch lift and 33''s and i rolled my rig and it laid on its top for about 45 min to an hour.

It wont start all it does is give one big eeerrrkk like the starter going for like 1/2 a sec and then nothing. All the electrical works, radio, locks, windows, lights etc. I have not flushed or draind and refilled any fliuds yet.

I know there is an entire procedure for this so if anyone has a link or something let me know, i would appreciate it.

Ill get some pics up for ya in the next few days, ill might just sell it as is or part it out, not too sure. Im considering chopping the top(winsheild back to the sun roof) and making it a targa top kinda thing, with a roll cage of course. I always wanted a supra!!

If it's a V6 i bet it's hydrolocked with oil. That seems to be a big problem with the V6 after rolling.

Just "rolling" it upside down shouldn't hurt it. But it's always possible it didn't get shut down in time (bad) while upside down or got collateral damage or something.
Make sure it is upright before starting.
Check oil and fluids and look it over carefully for dislocated/broken/disconnected stuff etc.
Pull the sparkies out and then turn it over a few times.
Replace sparkers and start it up.
Should start okay and smoke for a minute then should be fine.
Run for a few minutes and shut it down and check fluids again.

It may be new enough that there is some sort of impact/rollover kill switch reset for the fuel pump.

thanks guys, right after it rolled the first thing i did was check to see if it was running or if the electrical was still on, just after it stopped i saw the radio still going and i imediatly shut off the ingnition, im not sure if the engine was running or just starting to stall etc. I was upside down so im not too sure

ill get some pics up soon and inspect the whole thing.
