I got my 2009 mini cooper s rebuild done and got it started. I drove it 45 miles and then the throttle just cut out on me and died. Right now the starter isn't functional so I have just been pop starting it. It won't even pop start anymore. I can see the rpm's come up but throttle is unresponsive. I look at the live data and it looks like the throttle is engaging but no start. Fuel pressure looks good and I am getting compression. Any ideas what to look at? I have timed the engine again just to be sure and it is now in time.

 

if the battery is weak and you have a dying alternator, you might have these results you're referring to.

how is the voltage/battery? did you check your grounds specially the one on the left (looking at the engine from outside)?

where you located?

 

I live in Orem, UT, I took it to a euro shop not to far from where I live. The car was throwing a crankshaft position sensor code but I pulled the sensor out and it looked fine. All cylinders have compression the last thing I can think of is a problem with the wire for that sensor

 

Since the car ran that many miles, i dont think the sensor is bad. Unless, the wiring was loose.

what happens if you spray quick start?
