So my '93 Civic Si has been sitting around while i've been at school. So I had to jumpstart it today and afterwards wasn't able to close the hood all the way. I think that the cable release is stretched out, but i'm not sure. Has anyone had this happen to them? What would remedy the situation?

Thanks

 

check the cable make sure its not stuck on any thing. and you can adjust the thing where it attaches and that could be it

 

Inside the car, where you pull on the hood latch, see if the latch is 'stuck' in the released position.

If it is, work with it a little, until you feel the cable release back into its original position.

If this is the problem, hood should be able to close immediately after.
