Default nitrous stopped working
i got my heater installed, filled up my bottle, and went to have some fun. well, no fun was had!!! my nitrous isnt spraying anymore. it was spraying before, but not anymore. my bottle was full and the pressure was up, so I know it wasnt that. how can i check my solenoid, maybe it failed. any other ideas would be appreciated.

Start checking all the connections and fuses before anything. It could be something very simple. Last time my system stopped working a spade connector came off my WOT switch. It had me in a panic until a buddy of mine pointed it out to me.

bypass the fpss they have been known to go bad and mess up. also it would be easyer to help you iff you diagram how everything is connected.

I had a solenoid that would work fine.. when the pressure was below 900. Anything over that, and it wouldn't open. R/R'd it, fine now.
