nitrous purge solenoid bad?
I have a NX purge and I think it might be bad. I was outside installing a pressure gauge on the bottle and after I tightened everything up and turned the bottle on, and I was hearing a hiss. But not from the newly installed pressure gauge. It was coming out of my purge line, if I put my finger over the line I could feel the nitrous leaking out. The only time it stopped was if I pushed my purge button and cleared the pressure from the line. So my question is do I have a bad purge solenoid? It was used when I bought it, but has worked perfect for about a year up until just today.

It isnt leaking at the solenoid technically. Where the nitrous exits the purge out of a steel tube is where it is felt leaking. Not inbetween the nitrous solenoid and the purge solenoid at all. Does that make sense?

Right, its a slow leak when the is pressure in the line. But when I hit my purge button it opens the purge solenoid all the way and a cloud comes out of it like it should. But then it doesn't close all the way when I release the button.
