I just had the exact same problem, after fumbling about for a while I drenched the entire latch assembly through the grill with WD40 than pressed down on the hood until I heard a click, I then opened the hood normally.

I'm having this problem now. Car is dead and hood won't open. I've been trying to find the latch you guys are talking about and the emergency latch behind the Lexus emblem but can't seem to find it. Can anyone post up some pictures to give me a descriptive view of everything?

The latch cable getting jammed up or broken is a common issue on the 2GS from what I hear, when I bought mine you could open it but to get it to shut completely you had to fiddle with the latch with a screwdriver, I ended up paying lexus 400$ to replace the cable, I know that's way to much to pay, but didn't wanna worry about it anymore
