Default when spraying nitrous the car dies?

Alright well this isnt for me since I dont havt n02 on my car but a freind of mine that just picked up an ep3 off of a member on here had a problem. Last night he sprayed in 2nd and when he went into 3rd the car died. He then tried to re start it while rolling and it would not start. He stoped completely and tried starting it but it wouldnt. He then left it for awhile and it finally started. The only thing he remembers is the oil light was flashing and that was it. What could have caused it because we are going to the track sat morning and he really wants to spray but will not unless he knows everything is ok.

He is also running a 35 shot without k pro.

yes when he pushed the clutch in to shift to third the car just died. The motor is a k20a3. Anyway so it could be running to rich? Also could the plugs have fouled out? The car is driving ok now without spraying so i have no clue

sounds like you are loading up on to much fuel from the jetting being wrong, and cyl had to much fuel to start until they were cranked over and some fuel left the cyl so it could spark.

Check the nitrous solenoid and make shure it didn't stop working. I worked on a car that did the same thing and it was just a bunk solenoid.

that sounds about right.. def check the jetting.. it probably takes alot of fuel for it to actually die like that.. you would think it would just bog
