It does have a little for kick to it, didn't flash the system so as for mpg increase I'll let the system recognize them and adjust accordingly

Default Fixed my washer fluid motor

Was going to replace my front washer pump but after pulling it apart and trouble shooting it I found out I just had to clean the terminals in the plug to get it working. They were really kinda rusty too so I cleaned them a bit and sprayed them with some rustolem spray paint I had laying around. Hopefully help them last a little longer. Here are some pics of removing them. After draining the washer fluid reservoir and removing it I realized that I didnt have to remove it due to the motors just popped out of the rubber grommet. I was under the assumption that they were bolted in from the inside of the fluid reservoir like some of the jeep models. So next time I have to remove them it should be pretty easy.
