Default Low coolent light? spray?

just hooked up my wet kit and after and when i spraying my low coolent light comes on...im not leaking any and when i turn the car off and back on it goes off.

EDIT: Also how do i know if fuel is passing thourgh the fuel line that is connected from the fuel rail behind the intake manifold to the fuel solenoid for the spray.

The low coolant light seems odd, also I didn't understand your second question.

Did you remove the schrader valve? If so, then it should always have full pressure at the fuel solenoid.

The schrader valve is the little valve with the little pin that you have to push in to let fuel out. Just like you have to push in the pin to let air out of a tire. You have to physically remove it (I don't knwo how though, it might require a special tool, try a search) and then it will provide a constant supply of fuel to your fuel solenoid. DON'T SPRAY until you fix that, you won't have any fuel to go with the N2O and you'll detonate and ruin your engine.

If you do it with the car off, depress the pin first, it will depressurize the rail. Wrap a rag around it first to catch the gas coming out. The remove the schrader valve. Reconnect the line, then you should be good to go.

Ok, it seems that you can get a schrader valve removal tool from Autozone.

Just look at the valve on your tire, the pin is about the same size. Try to push it in with a screwdriver to let some air out, then do the exact same thing to the valve on the fuel rail. It's easy.
