Default Should I replace my Nitrous solenoid?

My noid stuck open. Luckily I was on a dyno and was able to shut things down quickly. On the street I likely wouldn't have known until it was too late.

I pulled it off and there was some trash on the inlet side. However dry firing on a battery it was clicking.

So do I need to replace? Or clean out the line & noid and get a filter?

For 100 bucks and 10 minutes of time, it's WELL worth replacing just to be safe. A new motor is much more expensive.

I'm definitely getting a filter as well. There was an inline screen, but apparently when it built up a little debris, the psi was too much and the screen broke.

Next dilemma, figuring out what solenoid I have. It has no name or part # that I can find.

However, it looks identical to this one --> Phat shot solenoid

Op I wouldn't recommend dry firing your nitrous solenoid, they need the nitrous to cool them down when open.. ask me how I know? I burnt mine up dry firing it. As far as which noid to get, I don't believe it matters just read the flow specs and pick a big brand ie. Nitrous express, nitrous outlet, etc, etc. Did you get a run on the Dyno before it stuck open ?
