1994 Explorer problems with starting

[new2bmw23]

I have a 94 Explorer that sometimes won't start. It seems as if it has this trouble when the temperature outside is very hot (90+) and the humidity is horrible. It happened again this afternoon. The truck started fine at 5am and at 2pm it wouldn't start. It turns over but won't start. Then the temp seemed to drop a little as if rain were coming. The truck started about 30 min. after 1st couple of tries at 2pm. Any ideas. Also, now the hood latch is stuck and I can't get it to open or close. It is about 1 1/2 inches off the grill top. I tried some wd-40 but still no luck. Any help there would also be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, what i recommend you is to verify the starter, i had a similar issue like that with a Explorer 91. sometimes stared well and some times no and it's looks that the temperature outside.
