Starts, Revs, then Dies
I have a 2008 Cooper none S, I bought 6 months ago for my daughter, the car had the timing chain rattle at the time and I bought it cheap, the car started but ran rough. Pulled the head as 2 valve seats had dropped. Head is reinstalled new timing set and spark plugs, it starts and runs fine for 5 to 10 seconds then dies, if i rev the engine within the 5 to 10 sec time frame it revs fine, but when it reaches the end of that time frame it dies straight away, if i start it and let it idle, when it reaches the 5 to 10 sec mark it spits and sputter really rough for another 3 to 5 seconds then dies. there are no engine code that i can find with my ODB2 adapter and Torque, I have a Schwaben code reader for MINI on the way. The fuel pressure stays between 51 to 54 psi, all connections appear to be connected and to the right places. I am at a loss at this point, is there a low oil pressure cut off? and I have changed the crankshaft position sensor. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please throw them my way. Thanks in advance.
I have not put any coolant back into the system at this point?
