Holds pressure but won't raise? Airmatic

So I replaced the pump in my car, seems to raise everything without a hick up, except the front left.

The pressure builds up but the strut won't raise? It holds the pressure but the strut still stays in the same position. Any ideas on this?

Check the actuator on that side, when the car was dropped possibly you bent something that tells the strut what height it is at.

Once I started the car, she raised up perfectly fine... Still no clue as to why it was doing that with STAR but it's all back to normal now.

Thanks guys
