Too High of an Octane bad?

I was wondering if too high of an octane would cause a car not to start? I put some of that NOS octane booster plus octane 93 gas in my 94 nissan altima and now it wont start. Can you guys please help me I want to get my beater running again. Thanks in advance

Very Highly Doubt it, unless you have like 1/16th tank of gas with the booster in that.

does it turn over? make odd noises? more information is needed to daignose the problem, though I highly doubt it was the octane booster (I've ran 100+ octane on a close to stock 90 300ZX), unless the company was confused and put water in the can instead of octane booster ...
