If you want to make sure it is seized. Remove the spark plugs. Take off the starter and try to pry engine to move, with out damaging the teeth of the fly wheel, with a lever. or take off timing chain cover and try to turn engine manually. If you can't budge at all, then your engine is seized. When you run an engine long enough with no oil and then stop engine. Piston's actually weld (seize) to cylinder wall. REPLACE ENGINE...

How do i check coil packs on a 1996 Saturn SL2 engine will crank but does not have spark crank sensor maybe fuses are all good. has fuel at rail... need to fix ASAP please reply with any ideas thanks?
take the plug wire off one of the plugs leave it in the hole have somebody crank the engine listen for the spark tick should be very loud do this on all four cylinders one at a time if you have no spark on any of the cylinders it is the crank sensor
Where is the O2 sensor and crank sensor located on a 91 Chevy Lumina 31L and is it fairly simple to replace yourself?
I have a 92 lumina with a 3.1 and I found the crank sensor to be located on the passenger side of the engine in the back of the engine NOT on the side of the engine below the knock sensor. Hello, in my experience, all O2 sensors are located in the exhaust just after the manifold. It appears easy enough to change. If it is the crank position sensor you are looking for, take a look around the main pulley at the bottom of the engine, you may see a square-ish component located close to the actual pulley wheel, this would be the crank position sensor, it should have wires connected to it.
Why does 1995 Lincoln Town Car does not start sometimes All power is there No corrosion or battery problem Has been going on 18 months?
i will presume that the engine will crank all the time, but not start all the time. check the power in and out of the distributor. if it has a system that uses a crank sensor then that would be the next in the line to check. hope it helps. duboff.
How do you know if your car engines locked?
Ha ha, i know this one backward and forward, It happened to my car. First off, check your oil, if there isn't any, then it probably seized due to lack of lubrication. Second, if you have a manual transmission, get it towed, and pop it into first gear, if the wheels lock up, its seized. If you don't have a manual, then if you can find it, find the crankshaft nut on the side of the engine with the belt. Find a breaker bar with the correct size socket, and try to turn it as much as you can. If it doesn't turn its most likely seized.
Why won't my engine crankshaft turn all the way by hand?
Try taking out the spark plugs first, because turning the crank shaft with the plugs in creates pressure. Or it could be that there is a bent rod and the piston head is in the head wall.
Will a seized engine crank at all?
No. If it did crank over it wouldn't be seized.
Will a seized engine run at all?
No it will not run at all
When you turn the key everything works but car won't even try to start What is wrong?
If the engine does not even crank, it is battery or starter related. Check all connections and the charge of the battery itself.If it does crank, it can be 25 additional reasons why engine does not start.
How can you fix a seized 1999 5.7 engine plugs pulled full of gas?
If you've pulled the plugs and the cylinders are full of gas, the motor is seized, won't turn at all (have you put a socket & bar on the crank?) then replace the motor with a used/rebuilt one would be the easiest.
If the crankshft sensor is bad will the car start at all?
I can tell you what happened with my Buick. The crank sensor was bad. The engine would start when it was cold but not when the engine was hot. Warner athey The engine computer needs the crank sensor reading to start. Period. Why three periods? Question mark? If the crank sensor is bad that does not mean that it will not function at all. That means that it will not function properly. Even a broken watch will tell you time. It may even be the correct time.
How can you tell if you have a seized engine on a 1993 Ford Crown Victoria?
You will not be able to turn the engine over....... If the starter cannot do it, and you know what happened before, like low oil, or no oil, or something else, then remove all the spark plugs, and try then with the starter, if not, then try to turn the engine over by hand, with a socket and bar on the crank. Having no spark plugs in lets the engine turn with very little compression. Hope its not seized. If it does turn with ease, then look at the starter for the problem, or low battery. Good luck.

How do you detect a seized engine in a 350 small block Chevy?
A seized engine is usually very obvious. The starter cannot turn the engine at all. Of course, you do need to first eliminate the possibility that the starter motor has failed and the engine is undamaged. The main resistance to the starter motor is compression, so you should remove all spark plugs, so there can be no compression, and the engine will normally then turn over very easily. If it still does not turn over using the starter then it is probably seized.
Crank sensor for 1996 Plymouth breeze?
The crank sensor sends a signal to control the spark timing to the engine. If the sensor goes bad the engine may run rough or not run at all.
Did all 396 engine have steel cranks in 1969?

How do you turn a seized 1993 5.7L 350 to undo the torque converter bolts?
depends on why it's seized. if a bearing is seized on the crank, or a rod is broke, the easiest way would be to pull the oil pan and take the bearing caps off. otherwise about all you can do is unbolt the tranny housing and leave the torque converter on the flywheel.
What should i doEngine seized on a 1999 ford focus?
It depends on what you mean by "seized". Often that means the engine ran out of oil and the crankshaft has welded to the rod bearing... if that's the case you can either rebuild the engine, get a new engine or just buy another car. Sometimes people think that because an engine stopped, it's "seized" when in reality it could be something far less ominous. If the engine is truly seized you don't have many choices and they're all listed above. If it was something less serious than that, find out what's wrong and pursue an appropriate repair.
