My pump isn't spraying, I need help. I am pretty sure power and ground are good. If I hook up pump power to the bottom terminal where spray is always on it doesn't do anything, so I don't think it has to do with the boost source.
Where would I hook up direct power to see if the pump is working?
The pump will not turn on until you are under boost.
Hook the red wire to your switched ignition, the black to a ground, put your boost line over the port. When you hit the setting (from us its 10 psi) the system will start.
To "test" the system take your key tot he car turn to the ON position. On the boost switch there are 3 ports, the bottom port is unused. Take the wire off the middle port and connect to the bottom, when you do that the system will start. Once you did that test move it back to the middle port.

That's what I did, move the wire from the middle to the bottom and it doesn't spray or anything. What else can I check?
The top port on the boost switch should have the fuse/fuse holder. Make sure there is a fuse in it. Maybe yours did not have a fuse.
The middle port should have the red wire that comes off the side of the pump, the bottom port should have nothing. You need to confirm the wiring.
It would not be likely that the hardware is bad.

Wiring is good. I checked fuse earlier, it was blown, for some reason, got a new one, it's good, but still nothing. What can it be?
If the fuse was blown, it had to happen during installation. I dont know if the fuse you replaced it with is good or not or if something got messed up when that fuse blew.
Use a voltmeter and see if power is getting past the fuse you replaced it with, My guess is the key leads there.
Checked fuse again and sure enough it was blown. So I replaced it, unpluuged wires at the pump, turn ignition to on, then plugged in main 12v power, then plugged in pump power on the bottom terminal, I heard the pump start up but only for 2 seconds or so then it stopped, checked the fuse and it's blown.
The fuse it came with from CM was 7A, I got an 8A slow blow which is the one that blew, on the pump side it says 10a slow blow... so I don't know. What can cause the fuse to keep blowing?

Can you take a close up pic of the front of the pump with the wires connected? If the fuse is blowing the wiring is messed up.
CM.
I can get you a pic later, but the 12v ignition wire is going to top terminal, the pump wire is going to middle terminal, the bottom one has nothing connected to it. There are red wires going to white connectors on the side of the pump, there are 2 conenctions there, you can see it on the pics here http://www.coolingmist.com/info.aspx?key=trunkinstall
Where are those supposed to go to, so I can make sure they're correct?
It sounds correct the way you have it, but something is not right. fuses blow when there is an overload, short or mis-wire. Make sure that there are not any wires touching something.
if worse comes to worse and you cant figure this out, I'm going to have you send the unit back to me. I know thats the last thing you want to do, so I strongly suggest looking at this closer.
Try putting a 10 or 12 AMP fuse in it and see what happens. I can tell you the 7A fuse is the same one that everyone else has, so I am stumped.

I can plug the main 12v power in fine, but it's once I plug the pump wire in that it shorts.

I understand, maybe your pump is bad. I have never seen this issue. Well once a guy with a WRX had a problem with blowing fuses like you, but his pump was 2 years old.
IF your convinced its the pump, please send it back and let me take care of it. The thing thats odd, all the pumps are tested from the factory but I guess its still possible.

I don't know, I got some 10A fuses, and now when I plug the wire into the bottom terminal the pump comes on and stays on, I am not blowing fuses anymore, but nothing is spraying, is it supposed to be spraying?
I dont know, Im worried about the fuse that kept blowing. Im hoping nothing is messed up. It should have primed by now. Call us tomorrow 888-667-3479. I'll give you some tips, if we cant get it to work well talk about what to do next.

i have a question, i have the 150 psi single stage kit with the one gallon resvoir in the trunk. what nozzle size comes with the kit because it seems like it spraying but has only gone down like 25% in the last few months with periodic use. is that normal for a tank of this size? thanks for any input

It depends on what your HP was when you ordered it. Could be an M3 or M5. also, it depends on what "periodic use" means. i would take the injector out and runt the system to see if the injector is clogged.
Coolingmist, I have a Crossfire SRT6, which is supercharged and would like to know if one of your kits would work with my application. If so, where would I install the nozzle? Before or after the supercharger? Any help will be appreciated greatly. I'm starting my "build" of this car and would like to squeeze everything I can out of it. I was also contemplating a heat exchanger sprayer to help with cooling. Let me know what you think.

Im not familiar with the type of S/C on your vehicle. If its a "roots" style, you will have no choice except put it prior to the S/C, otherwise you can put it after the S/C.
You will like what the Coolingmist methanol water injection will do for your vehicle. You will get alot of power back that your losing from the heat.
Thanks again and let me know if you have more questions.
