my hood wont stay closed...... latch wont pop back out.....
alright, heres the problem..... i popped the hood, alls ok.... but now im trying to get it shut and nothing. it just bounces back open.
the problem is that the little sliding latch (on the rad support/body) wont slide back out.... its stuck in, so theres nothing for the hood latch to "latch" onto
i've soaked it in wd-40, water poked at it with a flathead and nothing, nada. please help

push the cable in from the inside of the car, it's probably still 'pulled'. try and reach underneath and move the leaver aswell.

Try under the bumper and try and pull the cable towards the front of your car, like 2p2 said, its probably still to tight for the latch to get any slack and close
