Default TNT Fuel solenoid sticking?Any one else?

Checking over my system today and i disconnect the lines off both noids, hold it at 3k and hit the full throttle switch just to make sure both fuel and n20 are spraying. I do this every couple weeks just to make sure. The fuel keep coming untill i had some one turn off the car. This happened 3 times. I let the car sit for 10 mins did it again and every thing is fine. Did my noid get stuck? Should i worry? Please help?

I haven't had a problem with mine either, but it can happen to just about any solenoid. Get in touch with TNT and see if they can rebuild it or something. If not, I think some of the sponsors may be able to. Just a thought, good luck!

Likely the swelling noid problem that all companys are seeing, and likely to continue until a new material is found. It's Ethanol in the fuel probably. Does your area use this? as most of the country is now 10%.

The swelling plunger usually results in no fuel flow at all.... You likely have just a worn plunger. Call TNT and they can send you a tool and new plunger, it is a very simple process.

Get a rebuild kit. Soleniods are very simple to rebuild, my 2 year old could probably do it.

the swelling of the plunger is due to the fuel that is used...depending on the area of the country your in, like robert said, the ethanol.
TNT does offer an alternative for about 9 bucks. call and speak with David, he'll get ya going.

There is probably just a piece of debris in the sol, you can take it apart yourself or send it to us and we will check it out free of charge, hope that answers your question David@TNT
