Is there any reason why a 5sfe would just lock up while driving?
would it be the engine, or possibly the tranny? it's a 1997 5spd 5sfe, with 190k on it. im looking to see if it could be an easy turn around or not. help me out guys

the guy said his son was driving and it just locked on him. no pistons through the block and no loud noises.
he said that it doesn't want to turn over. the add on CL said the engine seized. |

Maybe his timing belt snapped. That's what happened when my tensioner pulley seized up and melted my timing belt. No warning, just locked engine. It wouldn't turn over. This post has been edited by HectortheRican: Feb 27, 2011 - 7:42 PM -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
