Why would a car not start and the temp needle go all the way to hot when the key is turned to the 'start' position?

HUGE short in the wiring. i would check for any disconnected wires that are laying against metal. i would also trace the wire from the temp sensor to the dash to see if it is broken and/or shorting out. because the car is overheated and its too hot to start. when you turn the key to the start position the fan should kick on and try to cool the car off. the problem is the thermostat. you will have to replace the thermostat to prevent future overheating. some vehicles have a temp guage test when cranking, such as the 82-92 F bodies(camaros and firebirds) they will peg over to HOT during crank, if they dont then it has failed the test and guage is faulty. the temp guage "issue" may be perfectly normal depending on the year make and model most likely this is not related to the no start condition

Does the electric fuel pump turn on when the key is turned to the on position? If yes, then check the coil. Otherwise, you would need to provide more information.

What is 90 degree intersection its for driving?
I'll use a clock as an example. Lets say you are standing on top of a clock which is painted on the floor, if you were to start by facing the 12:00 position and then turn towards the 3:00 position, you just turned 90 degrees. If you start by facing 12:00 and then turn and face 6:00, you just turned 180 degrees. If you were to stand and spin in a full circle, you turned 360 degrees. A 90 degree intersection would be like making a basic right-hand turn.
Do you cast on both of your needles in knitting?
Generally you cast on using one needle, but you can position both needles parallel to each other and cast on as you would with one needle. This gives you a broader, looser base for your work.

What would cause a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee not to start?
Check the neutral safety switch on the shifter. If you place the shifter into neutral or push the shifter harder into the park position, this may change the switch position to allow it to start. There is a recall on the grand Cherokees for this switch.AnswerCheck the battery, i had the same problem once and it turned out to be one of the cells in my battery had gone bad

Does the brake lamp warning of a blown stop lamp do a pretest when the ignition is turned on or to start in a 1984 Honda Accord coupe?
It illuminates in the run position, and should go out after the engine is started. It would have nothing to do with your brake lights being burnt out.
Engine will start on run cycle but not in start position?
The year, make, model and engine info would help.
