[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
Aboutto set my mini on fire. Last year rebuilt the head, new everything.

Thisyear number 2 was oil fouled. Removed head and back to the rebuild to check.Everything was fine.. Changed seals once more. No cracks no leaks.

Rebuiltbottom end, stared motor yesterday and had misfire on 2 and 3.. swapped coilsstill same issue. After high rpms revs,, because i was pisses. Car ran likenew.. let it run for 30 mins made sure everything was topped off. shut it downto clear old codes and restated, now misfiring on 2 once again but no oil..this is starting to sound like it has a power getting to the coils. Changed camsensors and still same issue.. Any help!!! I'm losing it.. I also replaced theinjector for number 2.

Not sure if this is safe to do or if it even works on minis but we used to check spark plug cables to see if they had spark with a screw driver. We would place the spark plug cable on a screw driver and place the screw driver near any metal section of the car while holding the rubber part of the screw driver, if it sparked (created an arch between the screw driver and the metal chassi then it was getting spark. Please check with others to verify this won't screw up something.

Also perhaps a spark testing screw driver might work.

not a spark issue.. could it be a vanos issue or a 02 issue. Only number 2 at idle high rpm runs good. engine ligh comes on a idle showing misfire on number 2 and goes off at high rpm.. i'm lost
