Wiper fuse OK, all other wiper functions are fine.  No head gasket leak,
been there done that.  Thanks to all for the tips on the temp gauge,
slider, and arm rest.  Any ideas on #2 & #3

2.  When I pull back on the wiper arm, nothing happens.  If I push, the
rear wiper comes on and sprays.  The intermittent and high/low works
fine.  Is this circuit part of the intermittent relay or does the switch
on the column go directly to the washer pump?  If it's the switch, do I
have to replace the whole arm?

3.  The van runs great.  Perfect idle, even when cold, good power all
through the rpm range.  Just after start-up though, for the first minute
or so, the engine stumbles launching under load at low RPM.  No bucking,
just low power.  If I put in the clutch and rev it past the low rpm, I
can power through the stumble.  It might do this twice in the first one
to two minutes, but after a few 3000 RPM shifts, the van runs great.  It
only does this when cold, not after a warm start.  Any ideas?

Hello, check the wiper fuse;check your timing;check your expansion tank
coolant level. Pray that you have no head gasket leak(toping off of
coolant).Let me know if you eventually find one. I got a good cheap ($5)
fix for this , if you are not too pickey about  it being pretty.
