Wait... the hinge creeks, or it pops? The creeking noise is easily fixed with WD40 or white lithium grease or the like, while popping, I don't know.

I have the exact same problem with my 89 CRX SI. To me it appears the door hinge broke the weld and needs to be welded back into place, and tension causes it to pop against the frame because it gets caught at certain points. I havent investigated the problem further, but over the summer im doing major work on my car and thats one of the first things to be fixed.

Well let us know what happens, I want to resolve the popping sound, it gets annoying sometimes.

You know I have that same popping sound on my drivers door. I heard the same thing that ullerw mentioned, the hinge needs welded back onto the frame. I don't know how to weld or know anyone that does, so one of these days I plan on taking it to a body shop for a quick fix.
