Notice any dents under the car? Sounds almost like the cat got hit and broke up clogging your exhaust

i disconnected the battery and i also checked to see if the oil pan had any damage but no. This is a giant mystery to me

Almost sounds like some sort of inertia switch shut down your fuel flow. I know there is something in todays cars that will shut the electric fuel pump off if it detects an impact. But you usually have to reset some switch manually to turn it back on.
