Anyways, when you put the key in and turn to left for the drivers side it unlocks both doors. When you turn it to the left there is like a resistance hump or something that you have to go past to unlock it. Well its like the key got stuck on the other side of that resistance point. Has this happened to anyone. I tried to force it back but it was almost to the point of breaking the key plastic. I also tried wd-40 and no luck. I would rather not remove the lock. Any ideas?

Sounds to me like you're gonna need a locksmith to get the door open, then you'll have to remove the inner door panel to expose the lock mechanism. W/O the key transmitter, it's possible on a '97 that the key or the lock pins are just worn out.
I had a 240Z who'se lock was so worn that any key you could get in the lock and turn would unlock it.
