Did you try what was recommended here - pull the lever while someone is lifting the hood? If it is corroded, it means it has not been kept clean and lubricated. Spring failing, I don't think I've ever had that happen nor have anyone I know on 20 yr old vehicles - but replacing the whole assembly is one way to fix a problem.

So Gary - what's up?
Not your hood, eh? HaHa!
OK - just wondering if you lubed the problem away or replaced the spring. I guess I could be the only one with a weak spring but for some reason I doubt it...

Trust me guys, I wouldnt have asked any questions here had I not tried all the above. I was a body shop tech for 8 years and I would be stupid had I not known how they work in the first place, heh.
But, nothing yet. It simply doesnt pop at all. I am thinking the cable is fubar, but we'll see. I have been working a LOT lately so I have had no time to even play with it. She goes in for her 30K mile check up very soon now and I am just gonna have that remedied while she is there. Well, that and a few more things.... like the S/C!!!!
