If it blows out the exhaust port as soon as you hit the button, swap the line to the ram over to that port.

No, you should have one going in and one going out to the ram. Most 3 way solenoid valves should be ported by number. #3 is IN, #1 is OUT, #2 is EXH. With no power to the solenoid #1 will flow through #2 and #3 should be blocked.. This is a general rule for MOST normally open 3 way sol. valves. There is a possibity that there is a pc. of trash in the #1 port orifice. If that is the case put pressure in at #1 and energize the valve to blow the obstruction out through port #3. Then swap them back.

Ok, the MRE uses the air kill pressure switch. That is why you have 2 lines after the valve. One goes to the ram and the other to the air kill.

Never mind this info, it is incorrect for a standard airshift set-up  . The solenoid on yours should be Normally Closed and is ported #1 on top of #3 ,and #2 is on the other side correct? If so, then #1 is IN and #2 is OUT, #3 EXH. Sorry for the wrong info. I am retired and have plenty of time on my hands to give out useless info..
