I assume that you have the UP-4 diagram?

I have both diagrams however when they are connected per the instructions, everything works except the front door which doesn't close after the gears go down and that one has absolutelt no pressure when gear is down.

I'm sure you've thought of this but I would manually open the doors that need to stay open and then connect up the UP2 on its own. Now you only have one valve to worry about. Set that up in isolation as per the instructions so that the gear functions and the doors open and close as required. Only when this is working correctly would I then start to think about adding the UP4. Once the first bit is done the second bit should be quite straightforward (hopefully!).

Also, have you tried disconnecting the nose door from the system and pressurizing the lines directly to see if there is an air leak in your nose door cylinder (or air lines)?

How about using a UP2 with a micro air valve to keep the doors that you need opoen, open.[8D]

Throw away all the UP valves and get one of the electronic ones from Dreamworks..I had the UP valves in a PA F-15 and it almost drove me nuts trying to get them to work right. Got the electronic ones from Todd and life was good
