opening the hood is a 2 person job

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

There isn't much that can go wrong with the cable unless it's broken... Try 
cleaning and lubricating the releases for the hood pins and re adjust the 
cable... removing the passenger side headlight assy gives you easy access 
to this adjustment point with the hood closed.

May need to try it a few tries but  once cleaned and adjusted it should 
give you a nice positive "pop" when it opens.
