Stupid Solenoid Coil Removal Question Ok. testin my kit today, found out that n2o noid was not sealing closed when kit was de-actived. had a steady slow leak. So I proceed to disassemble the damn thing, only to find the Coil is Stuck. Every solenoid I've taken apart in the past, the coil just simply slid off with the cap. Not this bastard.... its the big NX n2o noid. I can get it to twist with vice grips but thats it. I have tried prying with screwdriver, vice grips, praying the Gods.... Nothing.... WTF???

Sounds like the solenoid has been over heated. either you had a bad wiring connection or something is supplying constant voltage to the coil causing it to over heat.
Does the coil smell burned?
Best way is to take the solenoid out of the car and clamp it gently in a vice and drive the coil off the tower.
Leakage is normally caused by trash under the piston but in your case something may be supplying just enough voltage to hold the solenoid open and burn out the coil.

Well if it was gettin a constant power supply, then that d be why it remained slightly open after kit was disarmed, correct?? Never hd a problem til I wired In this damn timing tuner. Think its time to lose it.
