Default My nitrous solenoid is playing games with me!

Ok well for some reason the damn n20 noid only works sometimes. Im thinking its only working when cold. The way i test it is i put my window switch to 1k rpm and rev up the engine and hit my WOT to see of the n20 sprays. It does, so then i set the WS back up to 3k and give it a go and bam nothing, no spray :wtf:


So then i go and do it again by lowering the WS to 1k and then it doesnt work.

The noid does sit on top of my intake (LT1) you think its causing it to get to hot and makijng it stop working?

If so is it possible to add heat wrap around it for it not to get hot? If not i guess im going to have to move it again.


Any help would be apprectiated.

Thanks

Check and make sure it has a good ground. If the ground is good you may have a week coil?
Is the solenoid a large base solenoid or a small base solenoid?
What brand is it?

If its a small base solenoid you may try moving it to a area where the solenoid does not get as hot and keep the bottle pressure no higher than 1050 psi. Some of the small base solenoids have a issue when the solenoid gets hot or the bottle pressure is up.
