I had a similar problem when I got my Integra... It got worse though
since it wouldn't open even if i used a key or the latch... As I
suspected, it was the actuator that was pretty much shot... It cost
about $300 to replace it at the dealership... You can actually do it
yourself... I'm pretty sure it is documented in the service manuals...
Good luck!
