Hello, I’ve been directed here to the gurus of mini, I have an issue and I need help pinning it all down. I have a 2011 Mini Cooper countryman s all4 just rebuilt their motor. Had an issue with it wanting to start then die finally had multiple codes code come up. I could clear them and different ones would come back fixed the issue with a ground wire on the valve cover.

new issues

Alright new issue....

Codes I am getting
P16e7
P0324
P10ed
Po53a

Car was running fine then started all this.....


I drove the car out of the shop it was running for about 20 mins dueling quietly now I have no gas pedal can’t drive it but when it’s idle if it sounds alright aside from the noisy valvetrain. I checked the timing on everything and compression again and it is all spot on!

I am very very lost here because the only different I can find between now and before the rebuild is is running on all 4 cylinders..

please help thanks in advance!

 

Did you ever resolve this? Sorry I’m late to the party.

 

hey soul from my understanding the dual Vinos needs to be re-adapted after an engine overhaul like what I did. I still have not taken it to the dealership to get that done but some of the issues I have had to cause a lot of codes ended up being faulty sensors like the oil pressure sensor the gas pedal the fuel rail pressure sensor I think that was it every time I fixed one item a new item surfaced that was bad and needed replacing

 

I’m not certain on Minis, but on most cars if you disconnect the battery for about 30 minutes the memory is lost and the car will re-learn how to manage the engine.

Runs rough for a bit, and the engine stalling may happen too. But it saves you the expense of taking it to a dealership.

 

Unfortunately, this won't work. Engine adaptations for 2nd generation MINIs are stored in non-volatile memory -- which is not affected by disconnecting the battery power. The only way to reset the adaptations is via software through the OBD-II port.
