Mini s problems
Guy's I'm new here and I need some help. My daughters 2010 mini s had a check engine light. I used my obdii connector to clear the light while the car was running and it killed the car instantly. Now it will only start for two seconds and shuts off, but it will restart. I have it in the shop and they are saying that it's throwing a code saying software is not recognized, any ideas what is causing this? Thanks, Justin

That's what I'm thinking guys. You can spray gas into the intake and it will run. The car has 70,000 miles on it and the timing chain issues have been taken care of last year. It hasn't given any problems until I cleared the codes. I had a new key programmed and it still doesn't work. It will crank and run fine for two seconds and like you turned the key off. I'm located in Texas just outside of Houston.

No it will crank every tme, but it will only stay running for two seconds and shut off. None of this started until I cleared the codes. It had several misfire codes and a powertrain code, but I didn't save the codes. It was running fine until the moment that I cleared them.

Brother no offense , but the car was running fine until I cleared the codes and when you crank it up it runs fine for the couple of seconds that it does run. Clearing codes doesn't burn valves. If I spray gas into the intake it runs fine with no miss.

I have a feeling you clearing the code and the car dying is nothing more then a coincidence. If you were pulling misfire codes chances are the HPFP is shot and that is causing the no start.
