Default CEL when using ZEX nitrous kit

When I shoot nitrous going above 60 mph my check engine light blinks but then goes out when I lay off throttle/nitrous. Why?

Maybe you're running too lean and a light comes on - do you hvae fuel to compensate the nitrous?

O2 sensor would be my best guess.

you can also check what the CEL was by checking the mil code, most likely a misfire CEL
