MSD window switch 8956 4cyl mode
Ok so I've had my nitrous system set up for about a year now (got the wiring diagram off here) with the msd window switch 8956 set on 8cylinder mode. It ran good for 2 bottles and then my nitrous solenoid went out cuz I forgot my bottle on. I've replaced the nitrous solenoid and tested the system and it seemed like every thing was working , but when I made a pass my times or mph wouldn't improve and it felt like the nitrous wasn't hitting or hitting intermediate.
So I came on here to research for a solution and have been reading that the msd window switch 8956 has to be set to 4 cylinder mode by cutting the red and blue wire. My question is why would the system be running for 2 bottles then start having an issue ? I'm hoping that this is the problem and I haven't already fucked up my window switch lol. Oh and I am running the tac signal off the pcm white wire. Thanks for reading

If you think its the window switch, just take the wire going to your MSD window switch and ground it. Should be the white wire or ground wire on your relay. If you think its the solenoid, normally the manafacturer will test and repair your solenoids, I know we do.
On a side note, make sure on your window switch, the yellow wire needs to go to the white wire on your relay, not the ground off the solenoid. In the MSD instructions, it shows to take the yellow wire off the window switch to the ground on the solenoid, this is incorrect. The yellow wire should be going to the ground on the relay, not the solenoid.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
