Ok, i have a valve that lets the air out and its starting to stick. Ill try to air it up sometimes and it will air back out without me touching it. Any advice, please......

clean the contacts, also take it apart and clean out the diaphragm, alot of times they get moisture in them and they get corroded

cheapo aim doesnt mean much. I've seen guys with SMCs and Parkers that constantly get stuck, MINE are super cheap, I run ASCO, they're all under the back of my truck, worse place possible, and they never, ever give me problems. So, its not necessarily the place u get the valve from, lol.
