"Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comforting to cry in a CORVETTE than in a Kia"
A friend of mine had this problem with the right latch not releasing. This was on his 92. I have the tool but it is hard to know just how to insert it. We used my 84 as a reference. Once the toll was inserted and turned slightly, i sort of played with the hood and we had success. It turns out the cable had popped up from the receiver of the latch. What he then was take an electrical one-hole strap and install it, using and existing bolt, so it goes over the cable to keep it from popping out again. He painted it black so it is hardly noticed. If we didn't have my car as an example, it would have been even more frustrating.
Good Luck.
