i'd wait. they're usually good for 100k. but i'd also recommend
inspecting for yourself. check inside the cap, and wipe the interior
with some of that blue synthetic cloth you get on a roll. avoid avoid
avoid getting sweaty fingers in there - the moisture/salt track can
cause spark tracking and loss of ignition power. particularly check the
center contact - if it's obviously worn or too wobbly, replace the cap
[and center contact] and arm together.

if you replace, make sure it's a good quality, preferably honda,
replacement. do NOT use aftermarket with copper or brass terminals -
copper oxide, the spark erosion product, is a conductor, and just like
sweaty fingers, you don't want that providing any stray conduction
paths. [aluminum oxide from aluminum terminal posts does not have this
problem.]

I've managed to lose, over a 7 month period, both keys, and wonder
whether a new key can be programed by the dealer with use of the vin# or
need to have the car towed to the dealer, who I'll be calling tomorrow,
Sep. 12.
