I have a 1992 Grand AM GT and the fuel door doesn't pop itself open -- I've driven myself nuts looking for the secret for a self-opening gas door (yes, if i hold it while i manually pull it the door does open - the cable is fine)...anyone have any suggestions? I have even gone so far as to remove the plastic from around the fuel hole area!!!! I can't seem to find anyone else on the internet out there with this problem! HELP

Small world Mr. West. :wink:

I've actually had this problem on my 98 GA. There was too much slack on the remote cable caused by a damage fuel door lever. Take off the fuel door release lever next to the driver seat and inspect it for any damage. On the other hand, I could check it out next time I stop up by you. :P
