did a search and didnt quite come up with what i wanted.
does anyone here run a relay for the purge soleniod to run higher voltage. as i am having a problem getting the solenoid to open at high bottle pressure. i dont think this would eat the solenoid but i thought id post before i continue

Some of the smaller weaker noids will fail at higher bottle pressures. I currently have 3 that won't open much or at all at 1000/1050psi and when engine bay heats up. two different brands also. I allways run relays on my stuff, that way your only running mila amps from your dash area.

what is the best way to keep the noid cooled down?
i thought tappin the purge letting the juice chill it down was the proper method?
what do u do about fuel noid that are near the hot motor? any worries?

Robert,
When NX went to the new lightning we had some issues with there first batch. NX quickly changed back to there 063 orfice and coil combination and the problem was gone..
I have seen more problems with the companys useing the 078 orfice solenoids in there kits and there purges than anyother solenoid. Its really just this solenoid combination.They are finiky and problematic.
You have to look past the actual body size and understand the combination as a whole

On the small orifice noids I concure and can back it up from actual use.
