Default Selenoid sticking OPEN

I have an Edlebrock wet system and the fuel selenoid has stuck open twice and the last time nothing was in the way locking it open. Now the nitrous selenoid stuck open he other night at the track adn lucky me it did not blow up before I got the bottle shut down. The nitrous line was frozen about 6 inches back from the nozzle. The question is, what type and brand selenoids should I get to not have this problem in the future? I think the Edlebrock seleniods are made by NOS, that's what I'm told anyway.

Thanks for the replys.

The NX or TNT solenoids are much nicer than the NOS stuff IMO.

I saw an NX fuel solenoid brand new for $50 on Ebay. It is a great price on it.

You can also try the Dynotune solenoids. If their solenoids are anything like their other products, they should be pretty nice.
