Hey guys, My 89 CRX. the hood doesnt close right. The lines on the hood and fenders are fine. some times I need someone to pull up on the hood while I pull the latch. and when it Pops It doesnt pop up. I gotta pull it up, Then I push the Lever. What do you think can be wrong??

 

dude i have the same problem only when i pull the lever it doesnt pop all the time. what should i do?

 

I dont know, why dont you tell me? Asking that Question to me. If I knew. You think I would have Started this thread???? Why did you post? why didnt you just Keep an eye on it? NOOOOO couldnt do that could you.

 

im asking ppl who look at this thread i need help to. i was just saying that i have the same problem.

 

I know, Im just messen. Quite board here in FL, Waiting for the hurricane to pick my CRX up and throw it like a twig.

 

I put wheel bearing grease in mine. It works for about 4-5 months. Then you have to add more.

 

I used to have to push mine down when i pulled the lever for it to open.

Try adjusting the spring on the latch, theres a screw that goes in or out. I had to unscrew mine a few turns for it to work.

 

I had this with my crx and I just took apart the latch on the radiator support and cleaned it out with some WD-40 now it works fine. There was a bunch of grease and grime in there.

 

i know that when i had the same problem as you guys, i just "adjusted" the radiator support by slightly bending it until it popped open good and shut all of the way. yes i know that it is ghetto but hey at least i dont have a stubborn hood anymore! it probably wouldn't have hurt to just grease it up first though... oh well.

 

ya, it has to do with the latch. when you pull the hood latch from inside it pulls like a throttle cable pulls the throttle open for air and revs up. but it just pulls a spring that pops the latch open to give you that little space to put your hand and open it up all the way. grease the spring and latch up....probably just getting old...rusty or something

 

******* huricanes a i hate them where in fl are u

 

spray some WD40 on it and let it soak in for a while.. then take an air gun and blash off all the grime. I use a synthetic grease.

 

im just waiting for it too. although I dont htink its going to be throwning any ef's.
