Re: key problem
i had the same problem in a crx and am guessing that all locks are the same. try wd-40 if that doesn't work you can take the lock out of the car and take the lock apart you will see that all the key does is push up on these small pieces of metal that are differnt sizes that coincide with the grooves in your key. over time with all the friction these pieces wear down or your key does. just take it apart and find out which one or ones is sticking and file them till they work. The down side to this is that instead of having say 5 or 6 metal pieces stoping your lock from turning you will have less making it easier to be broken, or you could pay a locksmith a couple hundred to fix it.
