Default Solenoid wont open under pressure

My purge valve won't activate with the bottle open, but if I let the pressure out of the line the solenoid will click. Anybody else have this problem?

Weak noid, sticky plunger or pressure to high. Contact your manufactuer for rebuild kit, or to replace/rebuild, if covered like Nitrous Direct/Cold Fusion, with a lifetime warranty.

What's the PSI in the line when it does not open? What is it when it does open?

Pressure was only around 750, I had to let it down to almost zero before it would open.

Thats what I figured, I bought it used but supposedly in good condition. When I first installed it, it leaked. So I ordered a new plunger, well no more leaks anyway What a waste of time and money. The A-hole I bought it from won't even respond back.
