I admit, I am frustrated with this damn nitrous kit. After a couple weeks another problem occurs. Whats up with this? is it edelbrock thats weak or is it me? I know how to use nitrous and I dont abuse it. Recently for the past couple weeks, I been getting shitty gas mileage. I thought it was from the nitrous and the megan high flow cat, but I guessed wrong. I was doing my routine check on the nitrous system in my car and when I was checking the solenoids, the fuel solenoid leaked fuel. I unmounted the solenoid bracket and guess what, I stripped the freakin hole. So I mounted the solenoid upside down somewhere else. I tightented the fuel solenoid fittings to make sure that it wasnt loose. After I tightened it, I moved the solenoid around to make sure it wasnt leaking anymore and it wasnt. Before I tightened it, If I move it or squeeze the black tube, it would leak fuel onto the engine bay little by little. After I tightened it, I mounted the fuel solenoid to another location because I stripped the hole. Now I go test my nitrous, and nothing. The solenoids seem to work because I turned it on with the ignition on, but only for a second to make sure the solenoids are working. I hear both nitrous and fuel solenoids go off so I thought ok lets test this out. I go to an area where theres nothin and do couple runs, doing runs from 1st to 2nd. Somewhere between 1st and 2nd the nitrous sprays and I feel the kick, but only for a second. So i open the hood at the same spot and make sure the microswitch is mounted correctly so it would spray at WOT. So its mounted correctly. I do another run and I dont feel anything nor smell the nitrous. I just filled the bottle yesterday, so the bottle being empty is not it. I called edelbrock, but they keep avoiding me because they think im going to ask for warranty again. BTW Edelbrock replaced practically the whole nitrous system because every single part of the ni trous system I bought broke at least once which is stupid and dangerous, so they replaced it. I had more work cuz I would already have to remove/install.
Anyways, can anyone help me out here? I wanna get the kit up and running again. do I need to clean the filter? is the bottle messed up because I went through about 6-8 bottle fills. I heard after long term use the bottle needs to be replaced or something. Im also looking for my damn manual but its no where to be seen when I need it damn!!!!!!!!!!!
someone please help me~!

I have absolutely no idea why its not working all the way. Maybe when you press the gas, the throttle thing hits your microswitch and possibly moves it since it may not be tight which is why you feel the kick for a second but then it shuts off because its been moved and doesn't have good contact. Even if your fuel solenoid was messed up, your nitrous one shouldnt' be and would be shooting just nitrous in and you would still feel a kick so you should rule out that. Anyone else have ideas?

hmm, read the manual and I think I should try to clean the fuel solenoid. It could be clogged. I never did replace/clean any solenoids after the 6-8 bottle fills. Is that right? do the solenoids need matinence this quickly?

I am going to try to clean the fuel solenoid and see what happens.

The problem with that is if the fuel is clogged, the nitrous would still be spraying and you would feel a kick from that. Try looking at the jets and the nozzle to see if that needs cleaned.

I dont think edelbrock is all that great, i always hear of problems with the solenoids. If i were you id replace the solenoids and fittings
