i am useing pocket wizards to trigger them and for some reason my vivitar flash works all the time! and the canon one doesnt! i have checked countless times that all the wires are properly put in and everything and i was just wondering if anyone has ever had this problem before?

Is it possible that the 430 over heats or something? i am getting very impatient PLEASE HELP!
