ok guys I officially have my horror story!!! Last night i sprayed the cobra. Drop the car into 2nd put her to the floor and flip the switch. Run it up through 2nd and on into 3rd really well. When i let off and disarm the system i notice the really loud hissing sound. Turn the radio completly off to hear it better and realize that the solenoid is hung wide open. Yep a non stop stream of giggle gas only(not fuel too)was filling my intake tube. Well i panic, I couldnt figure out whaat to do so I try and stay in the throttle untill I get to a place to slam on brakes jump into the trunk and turn the valve off. Looking back on it i should have just stopped as soon as it happened and jumped into the trunkleaving the throtle body closed, but like I said, this caught me completly off guard. Anyone have similar problems? What can I do with the solenoid? Should I rebuild it?

Thanks
Travis
