I was having some grounding issues with my 95 talon esi, and i was driving tonight and all of a sudden the car just shuts off, and all the lights go dim, and then build back up. I checked the fuse its still good and when i turn the key, it just doesn't turn over. i tried turning the crank, even pushing the car(3mph)and dumping the clutch. still nothing. So i wanted to know if a stater can seize up? i mean i was going around a tight turn and the oil is low..but i don't want to expect the worse..
But if the engine is seized,what are the ways that i could un-seize it?

yea,I am kinda thinking that but i got to take a look at it tomorrow. But the thing is it never had a knock...and the oil light never came on...and i just put a new oil pressure sending unit in. like the car slowly died, it didnt just lock up and make the wheel screech...if thats what happens..
see the thing is the all the light were always flickering when i was driving. i replace both terminals, the battery, and i had a code 44..for battery sensor temperature volts out of limit. to me i just finding if very rare that a starter what lock the almighty 420a up....but i may be wrong?

Well the simple way to check would be to take the 2 starter bolts out. Yank the starter out and then try to turn the engine manually. If it still doesn't turn you will probably need to rebuild at least the shortblock.

What year is your car? You might have the dreaded ECU failure if it's a 95.

I'm not saying his PCM didn't fail but I'm pretty sure that won't cause the motor to not turn over manually. Could it be part of the problem yes, the whole problem no.
