hey simi! I do have the manual for the kit and the kit was in my other car, which worked only a few times. i changed the fuel filter yesterday but havent tried it out yet. i am not sure how much nitrous is left after it leaking out that other night. i ended up just tightening up the actual bolt that is on the solenoid. the kit was pretty much already assembled from being in my other car. he did use the appropriate teflon as well. i hope with me tightening it up that things may work. i am not sure if my fuel pressure gauge under the hood is working or not. it is at 37 when at idle and when given more gas, it drops down a little then goes back to 37. after shutting the car off it goes down to 15 after a long while, but never 0, (should it?) I am going to go tonight to a guy who has a fuel pressure gauge i can hook up to the schrader vavle and see what the pressure is for sure. I tried adjusting the fuel pressure through the FPR by BBK, but that didnt work ou to well. When i went to loosen the nut to adjust the allen wrench screw, it would turn both at the same time! PLus it didnt seem to adjust the fuel pressure at all according to the gauge. so now i may have really screwed up the pressure which is why i will take it tonight hopefully to see what it is idling at for sure. What should the pressure be, 40 at idle? and 80 with nitrous? If I have enough pressure and it isnt working still, i would say it is the hobbs switch. everything wlse seems to be working fine. now i may have to fill up the bottle again to be sure there is enough in there!!! Thanks simi, take care,

jim

oh yeah, if the solenoids are gunked up, would it spray only a little nitrous in there, or none at all?
