Default Making sure solenoids are good for upcomming use.

So with this week being finals week for me, I hope to spend a little time at the track this summer before I start Calculus. I was wondering what I needed to check if anything to make sure my solenoids were still in good condition to run this summer. I can hear the click open and click closed correctly, both fuel, n20 and purge. The solenoids performed just like they should have when used last. On both my cars are Nitrous Express kits, both with filters, and all the safety goodies. What I should do to make sure the lines are clear and what not. It's been a while since I've sprayed in the Camaro, and the Honda.

tl;dr What do I need to do to check and make sure my solenoids are top condition this season.

Maybe about two years old, give or take a couple months.

Considering your intended use, rebuilding them never hurts. has there been use on them, or time? This is before you getting the hardware.

Personally I would fire the solenoids to make sure they flow. If its a nozzle system I would take the fuel line and flow it into a can. Then take the nitrous line and fire it into the air.
