Default Nitrous Works 120shot on car when I bought it.

I bought my car and it has a Nitrous Works 120 wet shot installed. I have never actually sprayed it yet (i made the mistake of installing platinum plugs right when I got it). When I get my longtubes in, I'm also gonna change to some NGK TR6's. What can I do to ensure that my first spray will be successful. Local people said he sprayed it a lot. So i'm not sure if it had been tuned or what.

I'm wondering about my fuel. Would this starting issue cause any concern when spraying? http://youtube.com/watch?v=PYdd_eYKzmY

What about your low coolant or SES light? I see those as problems as well

Thats a hell of a starting problem you got there! Check fuel pressure and spark and see which way you have to go with it. Both of which would have an impact on you spraying.

yea read the codes, make sure you have coolant, the coolant level sensor going bad is common.
how many miles? do some routine maintance if you havent all ready

I unplugged my low coolant sensor. and I have some SES light codes, but nothing related to combustion performance, but I haven't scanned it in awhile. For the starting issue, I can prime the fuel pump many times before I start and it starts right up. So that means theres a leaky injector or a bad check valve. I have done a good amount of maintenance and/or maintenance repairs and tuneups on the car, and I have 117k miles

If you plan on spraying it there should be a rebuild in your near future.

If you prime the car and it starts up then it is more then likely your fuel pressure reg. Its not holding residule pressure. that happens alot

Would that be something I MUST get fixed before I spray it? The previous owner sprayed it though.

This is just my $.02 but, from the sound of it. Your nitrous fuel solenoid is bad and or leaking. I had similar starting problems, but mine wasn't quite as bad. If activate you nitrous system and just spray it in the air, your fuel probably will trickle out instead of spraying out.
