Default windshield washer

One windshield washer nozzle does not emit/spary on driver's side. The passenger side nozzle does spray normally. Please help?

That ^^ or its blocked by wax or something.
(have you been washing & waxing the car over the weekend?)
Or its blocked by dirt in the washer reservoir making it all the way to the nozzle.
Disconnect the tube and see if water comes out of the tube.
Use a needle to clear blockage from the outside and to aim the spray.
Aim higher then you think you should because the wind while driving will push the spray down.

A lot of text for such a small problem...

this probably isn't your problem, but i had sort of a similar issue before. the driver's side nozzle would take awhile or not spray as much (like all winter)...but after i filled up the washer fluid tank again they both sprayed fine.

I thank you all for your insight. I will post again after post repair attempt. Membership consultation within this website is an invaluable tool for ownership of an S2k!

Skip, you're like my neighbor. Me and about 6 other S2000 owners call the Lehigh Valley home. Why not post up in the Del-Val Forum and come to one of our meets?

I own three first generation Odyssey's (don't ask) and they use the indentical washer jet. They also clog. Disconnect the hose from the jet, the gently pop the jet off the hood (there is a pinch-type release on the under side). Soak the jet in water, then backflush it with a rubber syringe or gently clean it with a fine gauge wire. You would be surprised at the amount of crap that comes out.
