car stumbles when i turn on the wipers

[DR BOOST]

first of all , i know it sounds stupid. BUT ITS TRUE!

my car runs great, i turn on the wipers and it has a miss everytime the wiper is midway?

what the heck is going on?

Is the wiper arm hitting one of your wires? Maybe the boot is ripped and the arm gets close enough to arc to the arm.

Check your battery cable connections and grounds. Sounds like you may have an issue there. It should be something that you can see on a volt meter too.

yup, you are exactly right Russ!
..the bgc intake sets the coilpack back further and the arm on the fire wall slice through the tops of the wires. has anyone else had this prob? what do i do?

VICTORY IS MINE! I had it happen to me when I was drivin my car home from getting the hood painted. I run the MSD set up with the spacer, it started POORIN on me on my way home. I hadn't drivin the car in the rain in a couple years. The ET streets SUCK in the rain. I pulled over twice cause I couldn't keep the car going straight even at 20 MPH! I thought I had a flat! When I got home I noticed the wiper arm had cut into my nice Magnecor 10mm wires! Just a stab in the dark on your car.

Don't drive in the rain.

normally i wouldnt drive my car in bad weather...but ive adopted a new philosophy with my car.

if it acts like a b!tch, im gonna treat it like a wh0re. i think we are beginning to come to an agreement.

last year i had the engine replaced twice after babying it for years.

im getting ready to drive it in the snow tonight since it misbehaved in the rain a few days ago! im giving my trusted daily driver a rest.

i there any way i could move the coilpack further forward?
