Default nitrous cutting out!

Hey guys my nitrous has been fine for the past week but all of a sudden when im going it just shorts out and then kicks back on repeatedly- my bro says one connection could be bad and it could arc but what do you guys think is wrong?

i suggest checking all of your wiring!!!!. i have had good wiring go bad just because a connector came loose. start there and also check your micro switch to ensure it is making good contact with your throttle blade if you use it there.

yup i think i found it but i need to get another bottle first!!!!- i found a loose crimp in the wiring from the switch to the WOT switch, along w/ an exposed connection which i covered w/ electrical tape as i did w/ all the connections now, also found a small leak between the purge adaptor and the nitrous solenoid which i torqued down and covered w/ thread locker/sealant-

I had an intermittant nitrous problem that drove me nuts for about 3 weeks. It was caused by the thin wires that go to the solenoids. When crimped it would cut through the wire leaving it only connected by a few strands and every time it moved, I would gain or lose continuity. That's why they say don't use vise-grips to crimp. Now, I use solder to insure a good connection.
