Help with a lock-up?
I have a 1997 Trans -am with the LT-1. I backed it in my garage, killed it. Got back in about a week later and it turned over but would not crank. I then got back to it about a month later and it acts like it is locked up. 114000 miles, was running great, and not dogged. Any help?

What do you mean by "acts like it is locked up"? Does the starter turn over at all? Does it click once and stop? What is the car doing exactly?
