I got a Air Ride Problem, But a ***** ain't one...

[CobraStar_LS8]

my rear bags are staying inflated...if I shut off the car and close the door, I can hear the vent solenoids clicking...but the rear stays up high and more air keeps getting into the rear bag slowly as I'm driving it...I adjusted the rear bags height sensor to lowest setting and still nothing...I compressed the sensor holding it and the compressor kicks on...front vents but not the back...

what's the culprit?...if it's the vent valve on the compressor being stuck then how come the front vents when I sensor lowered it?...Can it be the sensor because extending it won't click the solenoids?...If it's the solenoids on the bags then that mean's it's stuck closed so if it is stuck closed then how are they getting air?...

what you guys think???...I'm frequently removing the solenoids to let the air out and let it air up to the adjusted ride height but after that it slowly keeps inflating after a few days of driving

Your compressor's not venting the rear lines. Time for a new one, or a spider valve.

its either a bad solenoid thats not sealing internally, when the fronts vent its pushing the air into the rear bag/s..

or there is alot of water in your rear bags and lines..

.if it's the vent valve on the compressor being stuck then how come the front vents when I sensor lowered it?

it could possibly be the vent solenoid as well...

why does the front vent and the rear doesnt?

because the front has a 4.6 dohc pushing down on it, and the rear only had the weight of a space saver spare and "maybe" a speakerbox pushing it down.

I'd almost be willing to bet that water is likely the culprit.

bring it over..or call me when you wake up...lol

I had that problem when I first bought my green car. The rear would jack up and not vent. The front was fine.

A spider valve fixed it, so my problem was the vent valve in the compressor.

Did you move the sensor in the right direction when you repositioned it. Move it up for lowering and down for raising the body.

+100 the vent is plugged, and the rear bags are rising cuz some of the air from the front is going into them when the solenoids open. i went down this road over a year ago with my spider valve V1, the vent eventually plugged up, cleaned the vent and good to go. ive since upgraded to a fully rebuildable vent and take it apart and clean all the crap out of it every month or so

I think I'll try to get the spider valve...I'll keep ya'll posted

for now I'll just keep the air ride off so the car can sit perfectly leveled...
