Default issue with nitrous solenoid

Ok I got my system all hooked up, and everything seems to be working correctly except the nitrous solenoid. The purge works and nitrous comes out. The fuel solenoid shoots out fuel, but the nitrous solenoid is just shooting out air from the line. Is this a issue with the solenoid stuck shut?

It's basically a brand new brand x solenoid, purchased a yr or so ago but just got around to using it.

If anything it coming out of it, then the solenoid isn't closed. What do you mean by it is just shooting air? Maybe a bad bottle fill?

That's the only way I can describe it is air, I can hear the sound almost like when you purge it, and see something come out, I'm assuming it's air. It's not white like when I hit the purge.

That could definitely be a problem.
