You connect the ground arming the noids in line through the FPSS. That way if it detects a drop then it opens the circuit and removes ground. That is the way I wired mine but Robert from cold fusion said there is also another way. He is the expert and I would confirm it with him just to be safe.

What kit are you running?
Ignition to arm sw-correct
arm sw to wot sw- can do ok
Wot sw to relay #86, then
#84 on relay to ground, this where you tap in your Fpss, or just ground it (relay), and stick fpss in between your combined noid grounds.

Many ways to do it.

custom set-up-

CF fuel/n20 solenoids
NZ nozzle/jets
zex bottle/lines
and nos WOT switch

so run the ground for the solenoids to one side and ground them out on the other side of the FPSS?

If you are not running a window switch ignore that part..

Hooking up my FPSS. I have one wire to 85 on my relay (white wire) and I have the other one grounded. Do I need to splice into wires on my solenoids that I have grounded or what? I am running a Mallory digital window switch. I have a whole bunch of diagrams but still not quite sure. Thanks

Any where spliced into the low amp side will allow the FPSS to break circuit if fuel pressure is not up to par, and that all that's needed. It's not a good idea to splice into the high amp side (your noids) as the FPSS may not survive.

Grounds are common. Meaning if you have your FPSS inline with a low amp wire and looking for a ground point, then yes it can be attached to same bolt as ground for noids (ie: common ground), or any ground source for that matter.
Now if your talking about splitting into the ground from the noids then to ground, then no, this is a high amp wire and will cook FPSS.
Just remember, once any wire is hooked to a ground source it becomes a common ground and has no bearing on other grounds, unless you have too many grounds hooked to a small wire going to ground. Hope this makes sense.
