Nitrous not activating
Nitrous not activating I've been having some issues with my nitrous system. I have a Harris Speedworks nozzle wet kit. Also running a microedge controller. I've checked and rechecked and triple checked everything on the microedge, I've even reset it and reprogrammed it. Everything is how it was when my system was working correctly. I've also changed relays. And there is plenty of nitrous in the bottle.
I listened to the solenoids using the microedge to hear if they were clicking, and I couldn't hear anything. What is the likelyhood that both my nitrous and fuel solenoids went bad at the same time? Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.

No, I just tried activating them through the microedge. The controller would say "spray" when I went WOT, but I couldn't hear the noids click at all.
When you tested the system what were your settings in the microedge? Are you sure your wiring is hooked up correctly? Lots of possibilities, so lets start with the basics. Shoot me a PM/email/call and lets get going on it.

You know, I had a very similar issue when I first installed my Microedge. In the end after hours of tracing everything twice over, it ended up simply being setting related. The only reason that got figured out was due to HSW's top notch tech support. I'm sure you guys will be able to get it worked out.

did you check your ground? relay for the solenoids go bad? what exactly happened to your purge to make it go "bad" anyway?
after all the above, i would try bypassing the microedge and listening for the solenoids with no pressure on them.

I have tried a different relay thinking that was the problem but no luck. I'm not sure what exactly happened to the purge solenoid but it stopped working and the housing is loose (I can spin it around with my fingertips). I just blocked it off. My kit was still working fine though until a week or two later.
I have the same issue as you...when I try to test my solonoids with the microedge, they dont work but when the car is running and its activated, they do. My wiring is exactly same as the stage 1 wiring diagram from HSW
have you tried arming the system and tried to use it other then just testing it?
set all the settings on the microedge for when you go to do a run and activate it, and try it....it might work...this is what mine does anyways
just a thought.

Yeah that's my problem, it wasn't activating during a run (which almost cost me a race lol) So I'm attempting to troubleshoot now and that's why I tested the solenoids using the microedge.
was there a mesh screen on the inlet side of it?
is your controller saying standby when the power is on? then flip the switch, armed and WOT trigger?
