Car Stalls...

Hi All

Hoping to get some advice here.

Suddenly today, after I drove the car, I filled up the tank with gas, then noticed, the car stalls from 3,000 - 4,000.

Mine is a Cooper, Non S, year 2003, and AT. I was using the Tip-Tronic.

Not sure what could cause this, I checked the Air Filter and all Air hoses, in case of an Air leak, but that does not seems to be the problem..

Any Ideas o advice will be appreciated.

Abdiel

I have read this

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...0-bad-gas.html

Same symptoms, I had reset the ECU Manually, the car still stalls..

Should I just empty my Tank and refill it from another station?

Please Help :(

For the records....

I you are using a K&N Filter on an R50 (Not sure if its applicable to other models) there is a "gasket" that should be installed with the filter.
I have checked that gasket to mke sure it was properly installed, and also tight the 2 bolts for the Airbox as well..

That seems to do the trick...

Thanks Everyone and hope this helps anyone in the future...
