They keep popping on randomly while driving, both at the same time. If I turn the car off and then back on they reset.

I read about the tri-fecta. but wasn't sure on this one.

Would this be a Steering Wheel Sensor or Speed sensor on a wheel?


I also noticed after idling for 5-7 minutes it gets ruff and choppy until i rev it 1-2 times.

Usually the Trifecta lights are caused by the ABS wheels speed sensor.

 

I should note, NO ABS light issue, just TPS/DSC

I would check your tire pressure in all the tires as our years don't have actual TPMS sensors.

 

I do have sensors in mine, and all of them were 34lbs cold two days ago when i first started getting the problem. maybe steering wheel angle sensor?

What year is your MINI?

 

I have a 2004, i thought they just did the rotational measure, but when i had tires put on they said I had them in my wheels

1st gens do not have sensor in the wheels. So they were wrong unless you bought a used set of rims that had sensors in them. So I would bump up the pressure to 36psi and see if that helps.
