Washer fluid sprayer help

I don't know what happen to my washer fluid. It was working when I first bought the car. It would shoot 3 stream of water from each shooter on both side for a total of 6 streams. I then change to injen intake so I had to change the water reservoir. Everything was still working fine until I ran out of washer fluid. I refilled it with washer fluid and now it only shoots 1 stream of water on each shooter. I can't get it to shoot 3 no more no matter how full I fill it. I try check to see if I pinched the line or something. I took off my bumper and headlights and it still does the same thing

If you have to take off the bumper again, I was able to transfer the low-fluid sensor to the Injen red bottle. It works. Thinking to make a DIY.

Use a very small pin to see if there is anything blocking the stream at the outlet of the jet. Ream it out and try again.

Yes, what I was going to say too. The hole might be clogged. Happened to someone I know in So Cal.

Yeah i'm try what J and you suggest tonight. As soon I read your post I remember it happen not too long after I got my car detailed. I try a toothbrush already and got most the crust out but I never check to see if there was anything in the sprayer.

It might be me, but am I the only one who hates how the stream is on our cars? The problem is that it's an actual stream and not a mist. Infiniti seems to be the only cars like this. My moms mercedes and dads escalade are soooo much better. They both produce a fine mist that does a really good job of covering the entire windshield when you spray them.
