Default 5177 kit still not working...

I installed my 5177 kit almost 2 years ago and i still cant get it to fire. I did the wiring a long time ago, and now i forgot how i wired everything.
I have:
5177 kit
nx switches
nx heater
nx bottle opener
msd window switch
Im about to rip all the wiring out and start all over at this point. This sucks.
I tried bypassing the fpss and nothong. bottle is full... Ive had it.

Just back track your wiring, It took me about 2 hours to do all the wiring. Find a wiring diagram on here and fix her.

The Fuel Pressure Regulator that come with the NOS Dy Kit are pieces of ****. They restrict it at a certain pressure ( I forget specifically ) while our cars run over that number normally. Take off the FPSS and the FPR is you have them and see what happens.

No, they click only when the system activates, ie sprays.

I think it could be the "ignitioned 12-volt" wire from the arming switch.... Where can i hook this up to?

i can shoot you a picture of where i hooked mine to, if you take off the panel in front of your left knee if your sitting in the car, there is a plug right in front with a dark brown wire in there. if you test that wire you will find it to be a good 12 ignition wire.

before you rip everything out, use a 12volt test light, and make sure that the power is going everywhere it need to go, check your grounds. Go thru the basics first

In the stickies is a wiring diagram for the 5177 and msd window switch. wiring can be a pain in the arz. Use above suggestions, and as you go along ask questions and someone can help walk you through the diagnostics.

OK. I tested the noids to see if they click. Here's what i did:
Bypassed the window switch, FPS switch, micro throttle switch, arming switch.
checked all the wiring.
checked the system diagram layout and i can see that i went over everything- All circuts connected and still cant get them to click! I gotta laugh now....I cant ******* believe it! Im passed fustrated now- into a new catagory...

If you bypassed everything and you did have a good ground and 12v then the 'noids are toast. I know you did by-pass a lot of things, have you tried putting one wire to the positive and one wire to the negative side of the battery? That will tell you 100% if the 'noid is bad, unless there is no change in the battery.

There is something in the wiring then. Since you bypassed all your switches you might want to try bring in one at a time.

The arming switch shouldn't work(I would think) with out a switched 12v. I know this sounds kinda dumb but do you have a fuse in the fuse block/blown fuse. Sometimes its the small things that we forget. Also I have a diagram with the NX switch kit/bottle opener/FPSS/WOT SW/MSD WS that I made a while back. If you give me your e-mail I could send it to you.

I use the PINK wire comming off of the ASR Switch. Just pop the faceplate off around the radio and locate the solid PINK wire and tap on to that wire comming form the back of the switch.
