Default ZEX AND ENGINE PROBLEMS?

man i had my zex insalled on my 2001 ITR at a friends professional shop, and today when i went to go to the bank and on the way back i notice the green key light coming on and it seems like the engine shuts offf and back on again, ITS WIERD!! its like a jerking motion and then bam it comes back on . the guy from the shop came to my house and looked at it and told me there was no way it could be from the nitrous, the idleing is fine and no knocking noises. he said it could be the cars anti theft system ******* somehting up. well, any suggestions?
thx

remove the wire tap for the tps sensor (that tells the zex box that your at wot) and drive it around and see if problem persists.. it could have a bad connection and be messign with the tps... ??

does idle drop also when this happens?

compression test (even though it idles find)??

what shot and how much has been used so far (nitrous)??

was the timing messed with?

crazy question.. but which green light.. (sorry i only have a GSR) are you referring to? If you have no other mods... take that bad boy down to the dealer and ask them to look at it.. i'm sure it's under warrenty, just dont have aftermarket parts on it.. but then again they have to prove it was something on the car..

have you unplugged the battery and let the ecu reset itself?

honestly.. no other mods... (remove the zex kit) and c the dealer...
