For an engine to start it needs the correct amount of fuel delivered into each cylinder in the correct form to be compressed and then ignited at the correct time by a spark. Fuel, compression and spark. When an engine will not start one of those requirements is missing and assuming the cranking speed is sufficient, which is a requirement under the general heading of "compression", a diagnostic process will need to be gone through which typically will begin by ensuring there is a good spark available at the spark plug and then move on to the fuel system. Because car theft became a national sport in many parts of the world in the late 1980's and early 1990's, by the mid 90's many manufacturers were fitting immobiliser systems as standard and so when an engine refuses to start these also become part of the diagnostic process and are often to blame.

Most likely fault is you have sheared off the gbox input shaft. You don't say if its manual or auto?

The petrol gauge is a voltmeter. Therefore check the continuity of the wire from the sender unit first .Next if this is fine take the sender unit out unplug then check it is not jammed .Next put an ohm meter across the two terminals you should see a change on the readings as you move the float. Do you have 12v at positive to earth from the live wire ? if not check fuse and trace power..Last thing then (and this is the most difficult) get the gauge out and put 6v on the positive terminal and the other to earth. This should move the meter to around half . This should locate the fault ,bet it is the sender unit in the tank.

Sounds possibly the engine is being started as if it's cold when it's not - look at engine temperature sensors, (not the cooling fan sensor!)
