Anyone else had the problem of the hood not popping when the cable release is pulled. We have a 1990 and 1991 with this problem. I cleaned the latch up and the cable is releasing the lever. I stretched the big spring on the hood and now it seems to work.

 

mine does that too. i have a 89 rs. when i pull the handle, the hood doesnt unlatch until i go to the front of the car and lift up on it, then it unlatches.

 

my 84 did that too. i just went to the front and gave it a solid smack right to the left of the center of the hood and it would pop right up for me. pretty cool trick haha.

 

yeah, it happens to me once in a while.

 

i cleaned mine up, put a lil wd40 on it, and hoped for the best. didnt do much, but i replaced the hood lifters as well ( mine werent stayin up nemore) and now it works almost everytime

 

same problem here.
instead of wd-40 i coated it all with hi-temp grease and she pops everytime.
previous drivers(my kin folk so i cant get too mad) actually twisted the hood a little beating and pulling on it to open it when a fingertip full of grease was all it needed.
