Writing question: what would cause a car engine to fail in a spectacular but non-lethal manner? My main character is fugitive with telekinetic powers and some amount of technical knowledge. What part of a pursuing car's engine could he sabotage using his magic?
Low force but high control TK could maybe precipitate all the sediment in the oil or scrape just a few tiny slivers off the inside of the oil pump/passages to get stuck in the main bearings
