Gas door problem
My gas door doesn't want to open anymore. I have to have someone holding the switch while I pop open the gas door with a paper clip. If you can visualize me doing this in a gas station, then you know it makes me feel like .
I took it to the shop and they said the lil metal clip on the inside of the door that latches gets bent sometimes. He bent it back and it was fine, but it started happening again.
Any ideas?

I had a problem just like this on my Accord. I just wedged a cigarette lighter (the kind that comes in a car) under the switch to hold it open while I pulled the door open. Kinda ghetto but it worked

Maybe when you pull the release handle the pin (that locks into the latch hole) isn't getting pulled back far enough. You can adjust the cable tension. Just remove the covering over the release handle and you'll see the tensioning nut on the cable.
