This is my problem. I had nitrous for about 1 1/2 years now and I never had a problem with it! I recently got into an accident where my car was left sitting on the side of my house for about 4 months. I just got it back, and of course, one of the things i missed was the pull when I flip the activator switch and open up the throttle.
This time, I checked my purge and it worked perfectly fine. My bottle warmer still gets hot. The only problem I seen was, the first time i went wot (wide open throttle) the nitrous worked perfectly. I kicked it into 4th gear and all of a sudden the nitrous would not spray. I purged to check if there was still nitrous in the lines or if nitrous was going through. Yes, there was, I had a pretty good cloud of nitrous come out of my line! My problem was, the nitrous would not spray into the engine. I got home and i manually pressed the Throttle activator switch and nothing. My purge still works, so I no nitrous is still getting to the solenoids.
Im not sure why its not spraying into my engine though. Can it be a bad solenoid, maybe the fuse box? HELP!

more than likely a bad solenoid or your wot switch. Check the connections especially if it was in an accident.And if I'm not mistaken your purge works seperatly and is before the n2o solenoid. Also check your nozzle/jets as they can tend to build up over time. Is this a dry kit? if not hows your fuel solenid? is it working?

aren't they different soleniods for the purge and for the one for the engine? Test the soleniod manually. take the WOT switch out and see if it opens. if it does then its the switch. If it doesn't then its the soleniod.
or maybe your car knows its it needs repaint to look all one color and has no need to go fast until thats done
^^fukcer beat me to it. lol

haha.. last time I checked overall looks has nothing to do with overall performance! I'm playin.. im tryin to save for a paint job (but thats besides the point).
I forgot to add that I do have a wet kit. I have 3 different solenoids... fuel, nitrous, and purge. When I did play with the Wot switch, you hear the solenoids (or a solenoid) clicking. Its just not spraying into the engine. So Im pretty sure my WOT switch is cool. I dont think ANYTHING sprays into the intake.
I'll be sure to chech the jets. Maybe they did get clogged or something!

More than likely its your WOT switch or something to do with the wiring. Check the wiring and the relay, I doubt its your solenoids cause if the nitrous wasn't working and the fuel was the car would bog and you would feel it. If the solenoids click when you put power to them they should be fine.
