Unhappy NX solenoid stuck open??

I just got through with the install on my NX kit. I followed all instructions domn to the T. I go to test the system by pulling the elbow off and hanging it over the side of the car. I turn the bottle on and the system was not even armed and Nitrous come out. I go back and check everything wiring and all. It all seems to be right . I mean the fuel and N20 solenoids are wired togther, but the nitrous sol. is stuck open from what I can tell. What should I do to check that sol. to see if it is bad or not. By the way it is just the GM EFI kit. The fuel solenoid works perfect when I arm the system and hit the WOT switch it sprays. Yall think the sol. is just bad? I no I am happy that I checked or I could have had a mess
Well any help is appreciated.

Did you check the electrical connections to the solenoid? It's either "stuck" physically open, or your electrical system could be holding it open if you made a mistake in the wiring. If it's physically stuck open, that's a bad thing. You can usually rebuild a solenoid with a "rebuild kit", or I think NX has some kind of lifetime warranty on their solenoids?

Let us know what the result ends up being, I'm sure folks would be very interested to know...

Aloha! Jason

Take a closer look at the N20 solenoid, On the NX kits the N20 outlet is on the bottom of the solenoid and the purge is on the side. Did you block off the bottem of the Solenoid and run the fogger line off the side???

I know of many ppl doing the same, but its very easy to correct.

I hope that helped

Aloha!

If you ever come visit NC I will buy you a steak. That was the problem. Went out there and rerouted some lines and bam we have Nitrous. Thanks for the info. I was use to the other type solenoids like in NOS kits and Nitrous Works.
