Re: latch spring
No spring on the latch. It pops because of tension on the hood hinge springs.
There is a spring that helps return the latch to the latched position after it is pulled. |

Re: latch spring
^ Yes. If your hood doesn't pop up an inch or so when you release the latch, try some light oil (WD-40 will work) on all the hood hinge pivot points.
