2 of my SS bays keep running, when qrtrs time out. I noticed 1 was spewing air & another TC, when I was there today.
Time runs out, but bay 3 spewed air, time runs out bay 4 put out TC.
Each issue lasted about 90 secs. This is a J Coleman Super Saver SS unit

Advice?
 
Same setup and exact same problems. Believe it’s the manifolds. I would check out the seals on the plungers, springs and look for debris in the manifold.
Mine are old and crumbling. I’m saving to change them to Kip solenoids.
 
Not that I have noticed . What does that seem to mean(if the other bays are on)?
In its original setup, the pumps for tire cleaner/foam brush only run when they're called for, so if the solenoids on that side are bad you might get tire cleaner out of bay 4 while another bay is running. The air spewing could be normal, since there's a tubing line that keeps air pressure trapped if someone goes from tire cleaner to high pressure, then when time runs out that pressure will push the liquid out of the line and it will sputter air.
