Well i think it happenend....

Well, today 2/24/05 my car broke down at 3:20pm..i just released the clutch all the way and started rolling(5mph) when the motor seized, shocking the drivetrain to a stop ,locking the wheels up,and squelling the tires, when i tryed to start it at the gas station the starter could not turn over the motor...as if somthing was fighting agist the starter. i donk know what it is that making it seize but i know its bad.
DAY BEFORE...
The car ran fine all day , i drove it to work fine but then as i was leaving work i started it up. and heard a metal on metal wraping almost sounding like a wood pecker. between about 2500RPM and 3500RPM the wrapping wood pecker was the loudest. i had to drive 10 miles like that. i had no choice. i got home i checked the oil in the crankcase with the dipstick, very odd there isnt any oil in the crankcase, the dip stick was bone dry. i filled her up with a quart and a half of oil. let it idle. i check the oil filter, it was on nice and tight, i know how oil likes to leak out after the oil filter unscrews its self...the next moring i let the car idle for about 10min then i drove to school, the wrapping was gone but as soon as you accelerate the wood pecker comes back. then i was on my way to the dentist after school and the events of 2/24/05 happened. the car didnt make a sound when it sezied, it just shut off and the wheels locked up, almost as if i stalled. the motor didnt turn over as i tryed to start it . the started couldnt even budge the flywheel.

i hate to say it but is this crankwalk? or did a bust a rod? or both?
*share your thoughts*

Thanks,

with it not having any oil in it for that long of a time it could have been just about any bearing that failed and locked up, only a good inspection of the entire engine will tell you what failed

Snapped timing belt.

Spun rod bearing.

i drove it to work fine but then as i was leaving work i started it up. and heard a metal on metal wraping almost sounding like a wood pecker.

between about 2500RPM and 3500RPM the wrapping wood pecker was the loudest.

i had to drive 10 miles like that. i had no choice. i got home i checked the oil in the crankcase with the dipstick, very odd there isnt any oil in the crankcase, the dip stick was bone dry.

First off it was stupid not to immediately shut the car off, pop the hood, and check the basics....like oil.

You had to drive 10 minutes like that. You had no choice. What did someone have a gun to your head?

Sorry to hear that bro but you should have not driven the car given the wookpecker sound. bro i stop my car the second i hear anything funny, anyweird feel- anything.....and i double check the basics. if it is not turning over it could be the timing belt snapped like defiant said. but overall you need to strip her down. to be specific.

good luck
