911! At the Track! POS NX Solenoid Stuck! - Competition Diesel.Com

imelmo · 10-20-2013, 09:13 AM

I'm at Ford vs Chevy in Gulfport after busting my ass AND my checkbook to get the truck done in time and now my NX nitrous solenoid is stuck closed! The electrical is all good, I can hear it clicking. Bottle is full. Loosened the input line and gas comes out. Nothing coming from the output side.

Anybody know how to unstick this friggin' thing? I tried tapping it with a hammer with no results. Next step will be smashing it with a hammer!

The pressure from the bottle holds the plunger closed. Try cycling it a few times with the feed line unhooked. If not tear it apart and look for trash fouling the plunger.

Might be too much bottle pressure. I know that this is an issue with NOS solenoids.

I pulled it apart and put it straight to the battery and it worked. Apparently it's an issue with the NX relay. I bypassed it and it's working fine.
