Default Solenoid Problem

Could use a little help here. I just finished installing and wiring up my 78mm Plate Kit from Nitrous Outlet. Everything was very straight forward, and the wiring was not very complicated. Now here is the problem. I went to test the system after I got the window switch programed. Tested the fuel solenoid first, and it worked just like it was supposed to (sprayed into a bottle at 100% tps over 3400 rpm). Then I went to test the nitrous side. As soon as I turned the bottle on, I heard Nitrous leaking. I shut it off immediately. Seems to me the brand new solenoid is sticking (stuck) open. I know it should work, and click becuase both the power from the fuel and the nitrous solenoids are wired together. Same with the grounds.

My question; Is there some way to get the solenoid unstuck or what? I went back and checked my wiring and everything is suffice. Is there a different way to test the solenoid or get it to work correctly?

Thanks.

Zack,
Are you feeding the plate out of the bottom of the solenoid or the side. The side is a free flowing purge port

Well I guess that would be the problem then wouldnt it. I put the feed liine to the in side of the solenoid, and figured the other side was the out. Guess I should plug that and put it to the bottom. Thanks.

Ohh.. Or use the 1/8x 1/8 fitting that comes with the purge and you can purge all the air right up to the solenoid.. Plus it looks clean that way.
