Found this in another thread. See if it helps.
Getting that hot is not good for the engine, but if you had heating blasting, it shouldn't have really caused any damage. If the head gasket blew out and you lost compression on a cylinder or two, you should be able to hear the difference in the way the engine sounds while cranking. Low compression/bad HG would make it run like crap, shouldn't prevent starting.

While key is on position - i.e. pumps primed- loosen the fuel inlet to the fuel distributor to see if fuel is getting to here.
If fuel is going into fuel distributor, loosen one of the nuts holding the fuel lines going to the injectors on top of the fuel distributor.
If no fuel is going into the fuel distributor and not coming out of the fuel line feeder then this could be an indication of a faulty fuel
distributor or fuel pressure regulator.
If you try starting the car with foot on the throttle does this get the car going?
