i bought an edelbrock perfomer rpm nitrous system,the solenoids worked when hooked to a battery. when i hooked it all up,both solenoids worked untill i turn the bottle on. no it was not over pressured, it only had 850#.
is this junk or can it be fixed ?

Is this a used system? If so what condition do the solenoids look like? The coils may be damaged or bad.
It sounds like you have insufficient current to the solenoids. Check the battery voltage, grounds, wire splices and wire diameter.
If all checks out wire the solenoid directly to the battery and turn on the bottle. See if the solenoid will open, if so you have a wire issue, if not the solenoid or coil is bad.
