Ihave a dewalt 16 ga finish nailer and a dewalt 18 ga brad nailer. neither one will fire. yes i have air to the guns. do you have any advice as to what might be the problem?
First - the air pressure has to be high enough - check the regulator on the tank to make sure it is delivering in excess of 60-70 psi (which I am sure you have already done).
If you have dry fired these guns (i.e. shot them off with no nails in them while you were lubricating them maybe) the mechanism inside could be damaged. I had that happen to one of my nailers (same brand). That was when I learned not to dry fire them...
Since both of them are not working though I would be more inclined to look at the air supply first.

it doesn't fire at all or does it miss-fire. What exacly does it do when you pull the trigger.
If it is acting like it wants to fire, I would guess that it is either jammed, or there is excessive moisture in the gun.
