I suspect the Fuel Inertia Cutoff Switch. If the car gets bumped too hard the Inertia Switch trips, cutting off the fuel pump.

Mine's in the truck, mounted close to the drivers side trunk support arm. There's a button on there to reset it.

Reply with your findings...

Yep, you found the Inertia Fuel Cutoff Switch.
You need Fuel and Spark to run that engine. Do you have both?

When was the last time it was running well?

I'm not with you on that Impound Yard deal, or how that relates to the flat tire.
When I get a flat I put the spare on and drive it to a Tire Shop..
