car wont start... help INERTIA SWITCH LOCATION?

alright guys thanks in advance for any advice given..

The other day i was driving my car started up fine everything was normal. I was driving like normal then decided to rip a turn pretty hard got sideways and everything but i go on drift sessions with the car so its not out of the ordinary and the car is always fine. well after i ripped the corner and straightened back out my fuel gauge shot down farther than when you turn the car off, i was like hm thats not good but the car was still running normally idle and everything was the same. i turned the car off thinking maybe it would reset it and now the car wont start and or even crank over. i have power and everything so im thinking maybe it popped the inertia switch because all my fuses are good from what ive seen. theres a possibility it could be the started but the only thing that brings me away from that is the gas gauge dropping..
i heard the inertia switch is a little black box with a red button usually around the passenger feet or back around in the trunk but i cant seem to find it. does anybody know anything about this or had this problem before?

any input would be helpful thanks.

and Happy Fathers Day to the fathers out there!

Inertia switch? Never heard of it.

The 93s and early 94s had issues with gas tank baffles breaking. If you have a broken baffle, maybe it made contact with the fuel pump (in tank) and screwed up the input to the fuel level sensor as well.

Alright do you think it would have hit the fuel pump causing it to stop working? Or if the fuel sensor messed up do you think it would cause the car to not crank over?
And an inertia switch I heard if you get in an accident it cuts the fuel pump and its a black box with a red button and you hit it and it resets it.. But I cant seem to find it.
