So I am doing my best to stick with my 08 Mini S even though I have had a lot of issues since I got it. Being "used" I am sure was part of the issue here. I know not all mini's are lemons. I just feel I was a lucky one who bought one.

Anyways, my car runs fine... Well after it starts and stays running. I am getting random misfire on X sometimes and dealing with my car stalling 1-6 times prior to me being able to drive off. We will just say this is embarrassing.

When I took it in for a recall they told me it was the timing belt and carbon build up. I have already replaced the spark plugs and coils. They also said that no codes were tripped for the fuel pump and that is what I expected was causing the issue.

So if you have a place that would do this at a decent price let me know. (I live in Moline, but will drive a bit if needed)

 

I've heard these guys are pretty good:

Hope you get it all figured out.
