Well, the other day the little plastic retainer holding it in place broke. I've since tried to open the hood - but to no avail. Any suggestions? The cable looks like the same type that is used on a manual choke; but I've never worked on one of those either. I'd like to avoid taking this one to the shop, since we're about to sell the car anyway. It would be somewhat difficult to sell with the hood release in its current condition. Thanks in advance.
