I only ask because the solenoids require a pilot pressure of at least 20-30 psi to work.
Yes we are testing under pressure which is why we are confused. Also we used the 08 solenoids in the Overdrive compeition so this is just aggrivating. Will look at the wiring question this evening when pneumatics guys come in. REALLY hope we can get this fixed as I just got a quote of $500 to replace the needed solenoids if it comes to that...

Thanks,
