Default How to check if nitrous is flowing?

I am thinking I may have a blocked line on one side. I tried to check by turning on the arming switch and activated the WOT switch with the ignition on but not actually running. No go. What am I missing here to activate the solenoids?
Does the engine have to be running? If so, I am not used to opening it up standing still. Any help here? Thanks.

You have to put a jumper wire between the two leads on the fuel pressure safety switch as well.

If you're purgeing nitrous then you have flow all the way up to the nitrous noid.

The purge noid is upstream of the power noids. I think the blockage is there since it was fine before purge install. I just realized I can activate the WOT switch with the car running at idle...doh. I am going to give that a try.

Be careful. Best to pull the lines off and point away from the Maf or intake. It will surge if nitous is sprayed at idle.
