Default nitrous + reduced engine power problem

I Have A Zex Nitrous Unit. The Last 3 Times I Used It On My 97 A4 Vett, It Put The Computer In Limp Mode And The "reduced Power" Light Comes On And Limits Power.
I Have Been Using This System For 7 Months With No Problems. Its Only A 125 Wet Shot , Throtte Activated System..............

Check to make sure that you are spraying Nos and the fuel out the jet. It sounds like your not spraying nos and your flooding the engine with fuel. Make sure the the sol are opening.

That Sounds Correct About The Nitrous Solenoid Not Opening.
Because As Soon As I Pushed The Safety Activation Button, It Went Into Limp Mode.
Besides That. The Car Is Running Ok
