JDV, can you post a picture of what the nozzle unit locks like? including connection. There are a ton of replacements on Amazon ... you might be able to pick something close to original and go from there.

I did some checking. I hooked the fiero nozzles up to my corolla's hoses and they put out a decent spray pattern. I guess the trico pumps are junk. The only other pump is delco at 50 bucks and I don't want to spent that kind of money to find out they are junk/ counterfeit.

1. Need meter and often helper. (or meter w/ Hold or Max/Min function.) Check pump motors actually gets 12-14 volts. (~14v w/ engine running.) Leave plug on pump when testing.
Pump wiring goes thru Wiper motor board on car w/ delay wipers and board often have problems and/or can have iffy ground. So if sees low volts, check volts between power wire and car's frame too.
2. Check OE tubing and if there the check valve in the tube near the pump.
Tubing could pinch or blocked or valve is plugged/bad.
Remove the valve and bypass w/ small hard tube to test rest of soft tube.
This valve often fails because people have water or "summer" washer fluid then freeze in winter or Crap getting in the tank can plug up the valve.
