won't start now, crank just drains my battery. I took it to the dealership and they say I need a new phone engine, but the car was running. I park it and next day I tried to start it dead. so how can I check it out my self or is there other way to fix it?

Okay, if it is locked up then most likely they are right. It has an internal engine damage.

You will most likely either need a good used engine or a rebuilt engine.
