Q: Motor Locked up

Check to see if the starter motor pinion gear is jammed in the ring gear on the flex plate. On the off chance that somehow the transmission is the issue, you can also try disconnecting the torque converter from the flex plate. If none of those tactics allows the engine to rotate freely by hand, if the engine is of the non-interference type, you can try removing the timing chain to isolate the issue to the top end versus the bottom end. If you have an interference engine, though, obviously don’t try that as such movement will damage the engine.
