Problem after TNT wet kit install.. Got it all hooked up, the bottle is empty right now also. Goin through the step of testing the system. Tested solenoid, working fine, click when switch is armed and they don't when its not. Tried to test the fuel system, there are no leaks when its running, but the car will not idle correct. The car smells like its getting too much fuel. It will barely idle, very ROUGH, sounds cammed, and if I touch the gas at all, it goes up to like 3k rpms instantly and then will slowly go back down. It almost seems like the system is spraying fuel in, but not sure. Anyone have any ideas?

Disconnect the fuel line that goes to the solenoid and plug the fuel rail, then give it a shot. That would bypass the fuel solenoid, so if you still have the same problem at idle, you know its not the fuel noid.

Simply way to test to see if you got a leaking solenoid is simply to pull the fuel (red) line off both nozzles. If fuel is running out when the kit is not activated you have a leaking solenoid....

Its not leaking fuel, i unplugged the lines from the nozzles and no fuel was leaking out, and it still did the exact same incredibly rough idle and surging.
David, they do open when armed. If i test the system, arm it, then press the microswitch , the solenoids click they they are supposed to.
