    Hood release adjustment

    The hood release on my '94 coupe is getting a little touchy. It is still releasing the locks, but on occassion the hood needs a little help springing up and out of the lock. Anybody out there have any suggestions on how to adjust the cable/spring?

    Kurt, greasing would be my first thing to try. those hoods are so heavy they need all the help they can get.


    Also have someone pull the handle and watch and make sure the cables are pulling the latches all the way open on each side.
