Gwen; glad to have you back. A lot of that silly squabbling I just glossed over. Anyways, on your washer system. First soak the hood piece in some vineger to clean it out, then run a thin wire through it. Blow into it and check both openings to make sure it is clear. Soak the bag too, no since in running an algae encrusted bag with a clean system. I use 1 part vineger to four parts water and some soap in there too. On the check valve part and the pump, hook all three lines up outside the car and operate the pump while you monkey with the lines. You will see what goes where and be able to see if it is in good shape. Make sure the check valve is in good shape by blowing and sucking on it......Russ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
