    Are your keys in the car and your locked out?

    Does the driver door work?

    Are you a coupe?

    Did it get into an accident?

    Are you just weak?

    Was it parked on an incline?

    Does it unlock from the inside?
    Wonder if maybe the hinge isn't so good and the door fell low and the lock mechanism got stuck... so use some wood and a jack to lift up the edge of the door and try again.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    sounds like the linkage arm fell apart, for the lock.

    do you have a key fob? when you work it, can you hear the actuator working?

    Okay. Just verifyin some things. I have a coupe and if I park on an incline the passenger door will not open no matter what from my saggy hinge lol

    I'd check saggy hinges on the doors or the linkage arm.
