Finally got the mini back today from the shop. WOW! This is the best its ran in a long time and I can actually hear my borla exhaust. Dang I love this car!

Taking 'er on a drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway and then taking on the Dragon on my way to Georgia next month. Super excited now!

WAHOOOO!!!

 

Glad its better now....So what was the problem?

 

I got the same symptoms described in this tread immediately following an oil change about a month or so ago ... had a local "backyard mechanic" take a look (lead him on about seeing a cat recall as that was what I had first found when searching the trusted net ...), he seemed to agree that was "probably" the issue and sent me on my way. What have you all found to be your cure?

2007 Base model here ...

 

Hello, im having the same issues, so my question is was the MAP sensor & Exhaust Flange Fix the entire problem and all the cleaning, testing, and repairs?
