...but the gas gauge is not giving an accurate indication, shows 1/2 or 1/4 full after filling the tank? But the reserve light still works correctly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

So the starter does nothing? If so, it may be the ignition switch. There are a lot of threads on the "hot start relay". Put the car in neutral and use the parking brake. Get under the rear end of the car with a screwdriver and short the large wire (+12 volts) to the solenoid terminal. You may need to pull the wire. This may engage the solenoid and start the car. Lots of luck

Is the car in an area where you could push start it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
