What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[TorqueEffect]

sounds like you have crap in the line. Need a filter or something. Clean the whole system out and install a nice high flow filter

Well 3 of the 4 holes are spraying onto the windshield now, not very high up mind you, but it was a damn site better than before where it didn't work at all.

It will work for now, until I can find one that wasn't as cheaply made.

I don't understand these damn nozzles at all.

Cleaned the gunk out, let it soak in alcohol, and used a air compressor to force air through it, and worked on the car for maybe 10 seconds of spraying time before clogging up again.

I don't get it!! Why does these pieces of junk just refuse to spray? I can get the damn hose to be a better nozzle just by pinching the end than this peice of $#!7.

I went to Ft Walton and bought # 6. I drove it onto a dolly and dragged it from Ft Walton to Auburn Al. It pulled easy. The seller had contacted a battle buddy of mine to sell it for scrap. He was offered $100 if seller would drive it to Andalusia. My battle remembered I was a freak about Festiva's and called the tip to me. So, I have another Festiva and got it for $200.

There is a salt solution you can buy called salt-x that apparently washes off salt and protects your car

Never heard of the stuff.
Any old washer fluid washes it off. Though now I am partial to the Rain-X brand, I did notice a improvement with my rear window with the rain-x over the cheapo blue stuff.

Definitely worth the extra buck or two.

Pulled out the nozzle and cleaning it.

Dug out some gunk out of with a twisty tie, and now is soaking in some alcohol. In another hour I will blow it out with the air compressor, and go and reinstall it.

I've been desperate for a working washer nozzle because of all the salt build up on the windshield.

Ow yes. But when doing it to yourself you know the pain and can adjust as you see fit. When I'm tattooing someone else, I drive it in haha.

You should have tattoed the signature

Preparing a bit for the insanely cold Monday and Tuesday we are going to have. Predicting temps as low as -14F.

Put in some gas anti-freeze/water treatment.

Also topped up the washer bottles with Rain-X all-season, good to negative 20F. Much better than that cheap blue stuff, and only a dollar or two more.

No, and he probably won't join. Not sure why. Just not his thing I suppose. He was pretty excited to get well over 40 mpg though.

Fair enough.. Is he mechanically aspirated at all?
