...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
