Default windshield wiper fluid barely coming out...

Got a problem with my 98 Z28 The windshield wiper fluid has almost no pressure, it might shoot up an inch or two onto the windsheild but thats(at least for drivers side, I dunno about passenger side, didn't think to look). A lot of fluid comes out, its a pretty decent stream, but it doesnt go high enough to clean the damn windshield.

I have had my car for 3 years, and I have never used the wiper fluid! Good luck with the fix

Have you checked for kinked lines in the cowl?

I have never used my wiper fluid as well. The one time I went to, I found out it doesn't work lol

Pull the pump and clean the inlet of it, might have a clog-obstruction.
While the pump is out blow some air through the line to the nozzles and check for blockage as well. The line runs through the engine bay wire harness, if you have not messed with that. I would look closer at the pump.
