Default Starter Lock-UP ?

92 civic si hatch,

Starter is going bad, my question is if i choose to keep the starter in my car out of pure ignorince , could or would it lock-up while driving and how much damage can this make?

The starter will stop in between gears and all.

How do you KNOW the starter is going bad?

And if it is going bad WHY in the hell would you NOT replace it?

This^ may be caused by a bad or low battery.

This is a very expensive way to solve car problems. Get a multimeter and do some testing to pinpoint the problem.
