This weekend I was driving down a feeder and the half power indicator came on. I swang in my local autoparts store and had them scan it reveiling a p0087 code. Driving it the past few days the light seemed to come and go and the car would run normal as long as it wasn't in limp mode. Therefore I was sceptical about what was actually wrong. Got in this morning and it was a very rough start. After fighting with itself for a bit it finally got to running good.

That said I can only assume that it's my high pressure fuel pump. Anyone have any suggestions before I start pulling parts and testing this upcoming weekend?

 

Oh yea forgot to add in that its a 2011 MCS with 59k miles.

 

According to OBD II - Potential causes of a P0087 trouble code may include:

- Weak fuel pump, clogged filter or screen, restricted fuel supply line
- Faulty fuel pump driver module
- Faulty fuel pressure sensor

Here is a thread on NAM about possible symptoms. See if it may be helpful. If needed, here is a HPFP for your MINI.

 

Thank you! I'll look into it more then do some testing this weekend and get back with you. Thanks for the info.

 

My pleasure. I'm sure others may have some good information for you as well. Let me know what you find.
