Hi! Not sure if I'm correct here, just joined the group.
A solid 2 months ago I bought a lovely 1997 300ZX Z32 in a beautiful purple color. It's been a great car so far and I love it with all my soul as it's the first sports car I've owned since I am only 20 🤣
I did encounter a problem yesterday after work though. My front windshield wipers always worked with no problem, showing no signs of giving up. Then, on my way home from work, as I turned them on in the rain, they swiped once and then stopped working. I pulled over to check if turning the car on and off would solve it, which it didn't. I was able to freely move them around but as soon as they reached the top position (vertically infront of my view), they blocked there completely.
I replaced the fuse and checked the relay, both of which don't seem to have any issues. When I try to turn the wipers on, all I hear is the motor or the relay seemingly clicking twice before going quiet.
The washers however work, and tge rear wiler as well with no issues.
What could the problem be?

When I first start the car in the morning it takes literally 5 mins of holding the key in the start position and cranking the engine until it starts.
When I start the car later on, say three or four hours later it starts straight away no problems.
I have been told by one garage that it is a compression problem, and by another that it could be the cold start sensor playing up.
Any ideas? If it is compression then this is a head off job and big bill! I just hope it isn't.
Thanks,
Colin
