hi,
the other day i tried to open the hood to change the oil and found out that the cable came loose or snapped, not sure which open but i cant open the hood using the pull switch.. i need some help, how else can i open it? i looked underneath the car and i can see the other end of the cable close to the radiator.. also i am getting a gas smell coming from the front of the car and it becomes really strong when i am driving and when the vents are open pulling air from outside. please hellpp ... thank you.. any help is appreciated... |

dont know whats cauing your gas smell...but dont drive it like that untill you figure it out, or it could cause a fire.
check the cable as it connects to the lever under the steering wheel and make sure that it didnt just come loose there. if thats fine..... jack up the car, undo the underbody plastics and try to access the latch from under there. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
