    Hi all, has been almost two weeks that my mini doesn't start. It crank but doesn't start just when she wants. I check the battery and is good. Change the spark plugs and still didn't start. I check to see if I have power on the I plug that goes in the coil pack and was only 2v. I change the coil pack and nothing. Then 3 days ago its start. When to work and before going to the dealer didn't start again. What can that be? There's low volts going to the coil pack. I don't know what else to try.

    Check the crank pulley, make sure it has not cracked and separated.

    Could be your fuel pump. However, when my fuel pump went, there were no engine codes thrown.

    Fuel pumps typically last around 10 years give or take 2 or 3.

    Also take the opportunity to change your fuel filter.

    Assuming it's a manual transmission could it be the sensor for the clutch pedal that perhaps doesn't think that the pedal is pushed in all the way?
