THANKS - washer fluid problem solved
Thanks to all who replied with suggestions. I had a neat batch of algae growing in my tubes. Thank goodness for compressed air! :-)
Blowing them out did the trick.
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. Finally discovered something that makes driving a corvette unpleasant ... snow!
----- original plea -----
My washer fluid has totally stopped working. Prior to that it barely came out ... just a few drops at a time, and only then if I held it in "spray" mode for quite a while. Unlike any other car I've owned where it sprays a steady stream. Yes, I've made sure there's fluid in the reservoir, the lines aren't frozen etc. I can hear the pump trying to pump.
2 questions:
1. How much fluid is supposed to come out with a normal functioning wiper fluid? (it comes out of the wiper arms)
2. Any suggestions where I should to start to look? I'm thinking something must be clogging the lines.
I have a 1990 6spd.
Thanks in advance.
