Hello everyone, I am hoping to get some input because my car has been sitting in the driveway for two days now after the engine completely refused to turn over. There were no major warning lights before this happened, just a slight overheating issue last week that I thought was minor. Now I am searching for a practical guide to handling a stuck vehicle engine so I can figure out if this is something simple like a starter issue or something more serious like internal damage. I have read that checking fluids and inspecting for signs of seizure are important first steps, but I am still unsure how to move forward without making things worse. Has anyone dealt with this kind of situation and managed to fix it without replacing the entire engine?
