    Okay ive posted a lot of questions and have got a lot of good replies. =)

    This one involves my car acting up as im driving for no reason. its driving me crazy!
    Today I drove on the highway like any normal day and my car started loosing rpms as i was driving. i was going between 50 and 60 mph and i wanted to accelerate and so i pushed down the peddle and the cars rpms stayed arround 1700 and so i pushed the peddle down more and the supercharger boost gauge was telling me the supercharger was being used yet i was not accelerating. so i let off the gas and pushed it again and the car accelerated normally. this happened about 3 or four times today.

    Next i have a problem with hesitation in my car it was diagnosed with a problem with the vacume lines. or maf sensor. i looked around my car and found a broken hose corroded by the battery...fixed it... it stopped hesitating for like a day than it started again. but now i belive its the weather...when it is dreary and humid outside the car hesitates when i give it gas to go. i have driven on a day where there was like 3 days of hot sun and very dry and the car drove like it was new. so is there a place i should look for condensation or something because i want it fixed its driving me nuts!

    Last my window wipers are acting up. they go up like 1/5 of the way go back down and go back up randomly.. I have especially noticed this on hot days in the sun or just randomly on the road.

    I would appreciate any help.

    first issue: the converter is locked and it is hard to push the car with it still locked. letting off the gas and pushing it down again unlocks it allowing you to put some power to the road. youre going to have to do that unless you get a good tune to alleviate that problem with more timing when youre cruising.

    second...dunno, youll need a scan/tune for us to know for sure.

    third..say what? the only issue i have heard are that they get loose. there is a nut under the cap that loosens up sometimes and then the dont work right.

    okay for the wipers there i turnon the car right. than the window wipers will go up than down and go up again... they only are moving about 8 inches up. i was wondering if there was a sensor on my car or something that could trigger this.. i will try to get a video of the phenominom to show maybe lol.
