This sounds like the starter grenaded. Look under the vehicle for the starter and if the solenoid itself had come apart, it would act like a dead battery. Let me know what you find.

Thumping noise

Could be the airbox touch the strut bar, there have been a few cases of that so check with hood open (park brake on) start and look close to make sure not touching anywhere.
Also have been reports of failed engine mounts so look at those closely.

I'm trying to guage whether my engine is dying

Was the the issue there before the new timing belt. It may be off a couple teeth. Do you have the correct type sparks plugs and the correct 02 sensors or some universal,splice in ones. When warmed up it goes into closed loop and the 02 sensors take over part of the fuel stratagy.

Guages when crazy. Now won't even try to start.

You likely have it repaired by now but it sounds like a classic case of oxidized battery or cable connection (sometimes mis-diagnosed as bad battery but cured with new (clean) battery)
