Not sure exactly what haddend. I was in part and had my head under the hood when it haddend. I was going to purge the nitrous when i hit the micro switch at idle and EXPECTING the nitrous NOT to hit until it hit at least to 3000 rpms (in the window switch). Done it a 1,000 times in the past 2 years. All i can think that haddend was the MSD digital window switch had malfunctioned or the solenoids had stuck open? I really don't know. Any ides from you guys? Thank GOD i didn't get hit by the intake when it exploided and i also had a fire extenguisher in the car.

 

DAMN. Sorry to see that happen to ya man. Hope the engine and valvetrain are still alright...

seeing this happen every once in a while always makes me reconsider hitting the order button on nitro dave's site

 

That really sucks. And you had all the stuff to make it come on at the right time too.
red97Z...Spray it! Its so great, I bet even 02hawk goes back to it.

 

Gotta be careful with those wet kits....


hahah

But seriously, sucks to see your car got messed up...

 

gotta love those MSD window switches.....I would probably put the blame on it...they are known for failures.

 

That's really about the only thing i can think of that could have made it activate at almost idle like that. I'm thinking that the motor and everthing is OK! I'm going to do a compression check and make sure it is. It's all forged stuff down there...... I'm thinking of sending the solenoids to Dave over there at Nitro Dave's where i got them to make sure there OK. I'm also considering the biggest stroker small block i can find and put the Procharger on there.... (to compensate me REMOVING the nitrous)

 

You can take the noids apart yourself and check the plunger.

I have an MSD Digital window switch sitting on the work bench right now. I can't bring myself to throw it away, and wouldn't feel right about selling it to someone. They are junk.

 

ouch...At least youre alright!!

Gotta figured out what happened!

 

Im not sure where mines at....glad I pulled that pos out and put a micro edge in there. I dont think I got 1 clean run with the MSD

 

holy crap that sucks man. . . . . I have read to much crazy stuff about nitrous lately.

 

Holy crap...makes me nervous about installing my kit with my fast intake.Good to hear you are ok.

 

I've heard some mixed reviews on how quickly they react, but you can install Wilson burst panels on the bottom of the intake. Don't know if it would have saved this one though.

 

DAMN, you were under the hood when that happened!?! I'm guessing there was an underwear change shortly after that... LOL.

That sucks man, could have been worse!

 

That one idiot was talking about spraying his car while it was off and then starting it in the GTO thread. this is exactly what would have happened.

 

Just a stupid question but why did you hit the microswitch at idle?

 

your probally thinking hitting the microswitch sprays the nitrous but I think it only arms it.But I could be mistaken

 

something is jacked up somewhere electric.

 

The microswitch should be wired into the ground pin of the relay. That would in effect spray the nitrous.

 

not at idle with the window switch set up properly. i am sure that the ws is to blame.

 

We already established that. Did you read the thread? The MSD switch is not known as the most reliable piece.
