sounds like you may have to junk the front bumper or the hood man is there a/c on the car?

alexb16hb

there is no way I am going to destroy the hood or the front bumper. No there is no AC but intercooler and turbo set up dont help!

just have a friend push and pull up hood and pull the hood release should open happens to my buddys crx every now and then

I will give that a try but i dont think that will work. 92-95 civic has a completely different style latch compared to the ef. I have a 90 civic also and it sticks like your friends. Any body else.

hood release cable is accessible under the driver's side front bumper lip - could be cut or jammed... try to move it by pulling on it. jack the car up.

i have actually already pulled the cable all of the way out from the cabin and then through the underside of the fender. it is just hanging from under the car and I have pulled on it with pliers still nothing.

Does the cable move at all when you pull on it, or does it not even budge? You could try jacking the car up, taking the bottom of the front bumper off ( the 2 bolts) and just bend it back so you could reach or atleast see the latch. The bumpers pretty damn flexable so it shouldn't break or rip or anything.

i have the car jacked up but my car has an intercooler in the way. i guess I will go out and see if I can contort my arm and get it.

You pull the cable and have a friend pound on the hood a little with his fist right over the latch.

plz turn off trial user

either cut the lil loop, or remove the front bumper cover, or jst smack that ******* thing up happened to my car, found out the lil loop was bent to the side

tried pulling the cable and pushing down on the hood. It didnt work. Looking from under neath there is a spring on the latch does any one know if it would relaease the latch if i took the spring off. Thanks

You are pulling on the metal cable, not the black sheath, right?

this happend to me before, with a turbo set up and intercooler, i just jacked up the car and saw where it latches on the hood and got a long screw driver and pushed loose, and bam popped it open, the cable came off the latch that pops the hood
