gas tank lid doesnt pop open

[moffman93']

when I pull the lever, the lid doesnt pop open. I have to pull a magiver to open it. I take my keys(which has a lanyard) and lift the lever with the lanyard pulling on the lever. Then i wrap the lanyard around the door handle tight to hold it up. Then i got climb out of the passenger seat to pop it open. Has anybody else had this prblem? Im sure its and easy fix but i dont know what to do.

Easy fix. You're missing the spring behind the gas door. Either that or it broke.

I use to have this problem with a celica I had. I had to hold the gas lever open with my foot and reach to the gas door to open it. Funny thing to watch.

Had the problem on a Corrado I had, latch had a pin that went through a hole on piece on door (really locked it shut). I pried/destroyed to get it open.
