My Standard mini is having problem getting to speed it like puts to get to the speed. Does anyone know what it might be? My husband is deployed and so he cant look at it for me.

 

Does anyone know if it may be the fuel injector?

 

Need more info, better description of what it's doing, how many miles the car has, ect

 

It is hesitating to get up to speed like when you turn the corner and have it in 2nd gear it putts to get to speed happens in all gears, it has 43000 miles.

 

Does your car run smoothly when you are sitting still? When you rev up the engine while sitting still can you feel a jump or hear any funny noises coming from the engine compartment? Is the check engine light on?

 

That could be a multiple of things, someone on here will help you out. But my suggestion would be check your spark plugs, wires, and like you said, that does sound like it could be fuel related.

Low miles for it to be the supercharger, especially since you have an '06 with a better built supercharger..
What about when your not moving or giving it gas, does it struggle or "stumble"?

Can anyone chime in with any suggestions?

 

It runs smooth other then when it hesitates to get to speed. Sitting still it sometimes feels like its going to stall but it doesn't RPM is little under 5 tho. The check engine light is on but the thing is it wasn't on till i took it in to get it checked but he isn't a mini mechanic but thought he would see anything wrong and he said everything looks fine but wasn't hooked up to machine or anything to check

 

I am so new at this mini thing my husband is gone to Afghan and im trying to do what is best for it don't want just anyone to look at it. When it is at stop sign sometimes it will sound like its low rpm it usually gets little under 5 not much is that normal. My husband changed spark plugs the air filter and oil before he left so i know those are ok.

 

You can go to pretty much any auto parts store and have them hook up to your OBD-2 port to pull the code. You'll get your answer then. Good luck!

 

oh ok thank you

 

Are you close to a militaty post? If so, you might try to take the car to the auto hobby shop there and explain your problem to the person who is in charge there.

They ought to have a code reader that can read the fault code that is causing the check engine light and might be able to give you advice as to where to take the car.

Are you close to a MINI dealer? They might give you a break on their normally obscene prices if you explain your situation to them.

 

Ya i live on post so i might try and take it to them and see i dont live close to a dealer i wish i did. i appreciate all the replies great to know ppl like to help thanks

 

Do you know of anyone else on post who has a MINI? They might be able to tell you who is a good mechanic to take it to.

I would say that the fact that your husband recently replaced the spark plugs might be a good place to start. Perhaps a plug wire was damaged or a plug was not correctly installed. Be sure to mention to whoever does the work that the plugs and airfilter were recently replaced.

Good Luck

 

tsayakhom, when you do find out the problem, post back because it may help somebody else in your kind of situation.

Also you may get a lot of help from us if you get that check engine light code read, and post the code here.
Here is a different thread that has very similar issues happening to them. Keep an eye on that thread and you should get an answer. Goodluck

If it's hesistating just on acceleration and you've checked out all the electricals, it might be time for a new fuel filter.

I replaced mine at about 70,000 miles (100,000kms) regardless of whether or not my filter was clogged, but it was rather dirty.
