It works in the ignition, just not the driver's side. Sometimes it doesn't work on the passenger side. After 4 days, when I finally returned my rental van, I told the guy that my car may not look like much, but I was glad to see her. Then when I unlocked the passenger door it locked itself and when I started the engine the belt squealed.

That is a two-year-old OEM belt, but I guess that the tensioner loosened enough times in ≈24 months that I need to replace the belt.

I adjusted it a month or two ago until it stopped squealing, but it did it again the next time that I drove the car!

It looks like the Accord does have a chip in the key and the Civic does not, but I don't think that I will be taking any Honda to the dealership until I have the title and registration. Driving it home and waiting for paperwork sounds smarter.

Hey, does anyone know how to buy a car that doesn't run and drive?

By the way, the Metro sold.
