It is possible that your wiper motor or pump might be worn out. Run a vacuum line directly from the intake manifold to the wiper motor. The wipers should operate with the engine idling. If not, replace the wiper motor. You can use a vacuum gauge to measure the vacuum of the fuel pump/vacuum pump with the engine idling. Check online for prices.
