I cannot fiqure this problem out. I took the car out today and when i raised the front of the car , the right side would go down after driving a couple miles .But when i got home i locked the whole car up and it has stayed up for about 2 hours now.I know it has to be the dump or check ,but why would it do this only when i am driving it.

If switch is sticking wouldn't dump both sides

not if its individual corners in the front

delta dumps stick sometimes too

dont make sense if it only does it driving whatever it is is probably relativly simple being as its an intermittant problem

I took the car to get gas,but before i left i closed the slowdown on the right front pump and it stayed up fine .I got to the gas station and i opened it back up ,by the time i got back to the house there was no fluid in the cylinder . I check the dump solenoid on it to see if was getting power ,without hitting the switch and it wasn't. So now i am pretty sure the cartridge is sticking in it .

the cartridge could be broke

the local hydraulic idiot here tightens them with a crescant wrench and they break alot around here

normally i fix them for people free

but if its broke then normally fluid seeps out around the top of the stem where it meets the block..

take ur stem out and check it

Thanks for helping out . I have a couple extra cartridges laying around .Just have to replace the o-rings on them and see if that fixes it .If not i think it is time for some new itailans.
