    does anyone have a picture of where the vacuum line hooks up to the driver side wiper? mine broke off a while back, and I cant see where the new line should connect.

    so, it looks like the wipers are fine, and Im not sure where this vacuum line goes, but I do know that my wipers only have about half power. I made a video of the line im talking about.

    Your washer hose might be MIA. Thats manifold vacuum you had in your hand. This is passenger side.

    Or your hose could be under the cowl panel or the weatherstrip. Heres the driver's side.

    my windshield wiper lines look good, I'm not sure why they aren't spraying normal. I hooked up the manifold vacuum line like Scott said to. The funny thing is that before, when I had the vacuum lines routed incorrectly, the car maxed out at 5 lbs of boost, and now it's making about 7. I would be willing to bet the map sensor wasn't getting the input required for an accurate reading.

    I wonder if the windshield wiper nozzle is plugged with something.

    Maybe a person searching for info by thread title can use those pics then. I've heard of using a pin to clear those nozzles. It would probably be just one acting funny if that was it though. Maybe try it with the line off to see if pressure is good. Washer pumps do go bad, and lines can get clogs.we
