I have a 99 ford ranger v6 4x4. A few months ago it had some damage to the front drivers side. Between the hood and the door. Ever since the accident my ranger won't accelerate properly. You have to floor it to get above 35mph and keep you foot pushing on the pedal hard all the way to the floor to get it up in to the 60 and above range. It seems to be shifting good it's an automatic shifting at 3000 rpm. Its as if somethings not engaging. I don't know what to do help!!

You didn't say how much damage, but it could be the fuel lines got smashed almost flat restricting the gas flow.

I hit a tree so it's smashed in the shape of a tree I can't open my door all the way and the hood doesn't open at all

You need to get the hood open and see what all got messed up.
