the thieves messed my ignition up
 

well as some of u know my car was stolen last week... it was recovered but they took the steering column cover and for some reason to start my car i need to use a screw driver.... not sure what its called but i have to push the screwdriver in a white kind of cylinder shaoed thingy and turn it to start the car up... anyone know what i need to fix this problem and to reassemble it like its suppose to be... any info would be appreciated

you have to get a new key cylinder. make sure it comes with keys because you wont be able to use your old keys to start it. or...if you car is new engouh, i think after 88, you can call in your vin number to a honda dealership and they can have one made to match your keys. they will give you a ton of crap to make sure that you didnt steal the car, so it might be better to go in with your title to prove it to them. it really shouldnt be to hard to install the new one either, defintally something you can do yourself

yea im gunna try to do it myself... how much do u think it costs?

that i dont know. its probobly not going to be the cheapest thing in the world. a quick call to your local honda dealership would solve this question quik though. let me know what they want to charge you, and ill see if i can get you a better deal

A new lock assy is like$120 on ebay with keys. It's an easy install and that white thingie you screw to the new lock assy with two little screws...you'll see it once you buy a new lock assy.
