What happens if u run NOS and an injector is faulty?

I have a rough idle, and I've changed my plugs, cap and wires. The miss is still there and I am ordering a 100HP shot of nitrous tomorrow.It runs fine at anything other than idle. If I put the shot on and one of my injectors is ****ing up, will it cause detonation?

Brandog, Not sure if you changes the pickup coil on the distributor butthat could be the problem with you miss at idle. They only cost about $4 and take about 30 minutes to change.

See if you are thowing a code for low air/fuel mixture via the O2 sensor.

Check the resistance of all your injectors to see if you really have a bad one. If so, just replace that one.

I always heard that when 1 goes they all do, but I changed the one that burnt out on me with one from Pep-boys for 70.00. After 30,000 miles, the others are still fine.

If ya got the dough though, would be a good time to get them all rebuilt or by some bad *** new ones.

The extra fuel in a nitrous kit comes from the schrader valve on the fuel rail, not from the injectors
