Apparently this is a ghost wire issue. Just finished a TNW nitrous install on my 93 and when I performed the preliminary test, the nitrous solenoid kicks when the ineterior switch is flipped but the fuel solenoid waits properly. Both the ground and hot wire to the sloenoids are wired together (one hot wire for both solenoids coming from a relay.) Any Ideas? I tried just switching the wires from the Nitrous side but no difference. Bad solenoid or bad relay? thanks for reading.

Is the relay amperage rated for the current draw of the solenoids? Is the relay wired correctly? Are the solenoids wired correctly? I know that sounds elementary, but first things first. Is it a double pole relay or single. If double have you switched the hot wires for the solenoids around? If it is a single pole and both hots are to the same pole, the relay is working because one solenoid is working so that narrows it down a bit. Are your grounds good? Try bypassing the relay for the suspect solenoid, completely unhook everything from the suspect solenoid, hook up the power, then just touch the ground to a ground source listening for a "click"
