How to diagnose and replace a MINI Cooper throttle body. (2nd gen.)
There may be many reasons your MINI engine is stalling or having a crank-no-start situation. ( see my other video on top 9 things that cause a rough idle on MINI's) . And this is one of those things listed in that video. A faulty throttle body!
-A faulty throttle body can also cause a rough idle and engine surging on these vehicles. That being said it will not always cause throttle body faults to be present like in this video. Sometimes there are mass air meeter fault codes only. Or accompanied by engine misfires. Assuming there are no air leaks, then it is likely a faulty throttle body and not a faulty mass air meeter.
-After replacing. It is recommended to clear adaptations using a diagnostic scan tool It is not necessary but recommended.

1st time I’ve seen this video thank you! This guy the reason I bought 2nd gen mini

@grogthegrolie Год назад

That sure is a clean engine compartment for a 14 year old car. Owner must really love his Clubby 😎

@MikeMDs Год назад

Absolutely he does : )

@TheFrenchPug Год назад

That was a super tight, blindspot Mike. More power to you getting that bad boy in there!

@MikeMDs Год назад

Ha Ha thanks. You have to use your hands as eyes sometimes )

@colin2975 Год назад

Great video thanks. Excellent quality with good views of what was going on, and excellent lighting and sound too. Also great to have those little tips from you e.g. how to easier align bolts when putting the new throttle body in. Would love to see videos like this on the F55/56 Mini. Thanks again.

@MikeMDs Год назад

Thank you. Im glad you enjoyed it. I will try and make more videos on newer MINI's :)

Foot Well Module Recall on 2010 through 2013. My 2011 base stalls. Added everything Utube said would fix it. Nothing fixed it. I even cut and checked the fuel pump relay and soldered it back together! Now I got a recall letter for free fix at Mini Dealer which is 80 miles away!. Can cause fire if not replaced!

@JoshuaPchelka 2 месяца назад

Curious what the culprit was. Having similar issues with 2013 R56 N16 naturally aspirated. Changed the foot well panel with relay. Getting 10.8v to pump then car shuts off and then 0v. Reading 48psi at fuel rail but I've read conflicting numbers saying it should be 72psi and some saying it should be 50psi as I thought possibly it was fuel regulator in tank. It's starting to get irritating

@user-fu3gq8xc3v 6 месяцев назад

For this can you also get 2885 code?

@user-fn2zq6yd4t Год назад

Hey Mike great video! Ive had issues with my 2008 r56 mini cooper S, its hard to start and if it does it misfires and idles weirdly, the limp mode warning light comes on like you showed in the video. Ive changed the rocker gasket cover changed, water housing thermostat, fuel pump, sparks. My mechanic thinks it could be the computer playing up or dirty intake manifold. Its been at the mechnics for over a year now and Im defeated almost wanting to give up on the car but ive spent so much on it already. your assitance would be greatly appreciated

@MikeMDs Год назад

If it only runs rough on start up then smooths out, it could a high pressure fuel pump. In this case it will only throw engine misfire codes and no fuel pressure codes. This makes it hard to diagnose without the factory software. Also a bad throttle body can case this. Engine misfires with mass air flow faults. I have another video on the top reasons your MINI runs rough.

@gustavomendoza5803 11 месяцев назад

@MikeMDs yup I had the same problem an it was the high pressure fuel pump

@user-fn2zq6yd4t 11 месяцев назад

@@MikeMDs thanks mike! I’ve replaced the HPFP already and still runs rough, would trial the throttle body next but it’s been a puzzle to fix

@soccerfreak8911 Год назад

Same idea as N18? I got an throttle issue and got a new one so hopefully this is the same method

@MikeMDs Год назад

Yes it is the same : )

@martinvaldepena48 Год назад

Where did you purchase your throttle valve body my mini is giving same codes thanks

@MikeMDs Год назад

You can get it at pelicanparts.com.

@precool Год назад

Would you try cleaning first? I think this one was a slam dunk because it was so jammed. I’m getting sporadic lunging/stuttering mostly on the freeway. It’s also pretty cold here. What would you recommend? Thanks as always!

@MikeMDs Год назад

Well i've never seen one jamming because it was dirty. Something inside gets jammed up. I think the sprockets teeth chip off.

@precool Год назад

@@MikeMDs That’s good info. I’ve had my MCS for two years. I love it and I’m starting to get comfortable doing repairs and mods myself. I know my limits! 😆 So maybe my throttle body is on the way out. I’ll see what happens over the next few days. Thanks again. I just followed you on IG. 👍🏻

@MikeMDs Год назад

Thats awesome to hear you're enjoying your MINI. And working on it ! Thanks for the view and follow on IG!

@precool Год назад

@@MikeMDs I think it could be the TPS. Is it easy to reach? Thanks again Mike.

@steveenns3903 5 месяцев назад

Most videos I've watched on this the guys pull the whole manifold out to get at throttle body. I have a 2007 mini S. Is this the same process as your video? Thx

@josueelombre931 Год назад

Kinda a random question but does anyone know if the newer 1.6 turbo engines from 2014 to 2015 are better then the older years? Since the engine was still used on later model countryman’s, coupe and roadsters.

@MikeMDs Год назад

Overall I like the newer engines better. Especially the S model 4 cylinder. The non S models are a three cylinder

@JRRott-mj5jq 4 месяца назад

Mine starts right up but then sputters and then runs ok then sputters again I got a check engine light on but of course I can’t read it cause something wrong with the plug it won’t communicate with the scanner I’ve checked every fuse as much of the wires I can find too the wiring harness is a nightmare in these minis

@user-pq1po4fr4j Месяц назад

2011 mini s. Spits and sputters first thing in the morning. I shut it off and rebrand then it drives fine. Have had turbos, lines, coils, and spark plugs replaced? Is it this or electric fuel pump issue?

@user-pq1po4fr4j Месяц назад

Recrank*

@MikeMDs Месяц назад

There is no way to know without seeing it and analyzing the fault codes.

@davidholder5471 Год назад

Mike did this give a fault code? My R56 Cooper S is running rich and trying to work out where to start (no codes of engine light)

@MikeMDs Год назад

It is running rich but there are no codes?

@davidholder5471 Год назад

@@MikeMDs yeah running rich popping even when barely warmed up no codes no stalling but just not right. Also additive mixture correction of -5.60

@MikeMDs Год назад

The description sounds like it is running lean though the numbers indicate otherwise. The popping as well, or backfire through the intake usually indicates lean mixture. Hard to say without seeing it though. You may still be correct. I've seen the breather pipe from the valve cover that goes under the intake cause your symptoms. It will be broken. But it looks fine because it has a mesh covering over it. The addatives indicated rich even though it was a lean situation. Additionally have you tried to smoke the intake and crankcase just to rule it out?

@davidholder5471 Год назад

@@MikeMDs hi Mike thanks for replying in such detail, I need to get the airbox out of the way and inspect the breather hose more throughly. Also the inlet pipe doesn’t appear to ‘click’ or latch into place so I’m wondering if that’s not seated correctly. Sorry by smoke do you mean a smoke generator by the intake to look for leaks? (not that I have one)

@MikeMDs Год назад

Yes a smoke machine to look for leaks. Best of luck!

@JRRott-mj5jq 4 месяца назад

I got a 2005 mini S model and my engine bay is totally different from this guys in the video I got turbo too

@MikeMDs 4 месяца назад

You have a first generation MINI with a supercharger. Sorry this video is not for your engine. There is no way to know what is going on with it without seeing it in person.

@Antonio-mc2vt Год назад

Which mini engine is the easiest to work on?

@MikeMDs Год назад

Any of them that are a non S model.

@andrewtomasko4120 Год назад

Does the throttle body need to be reprogrammed? Or is it a plug and play

@MikeMDs Год назад

No it is plug and play : )

@vivianduncan4168 6 месяцев назад

Does that go for all throttle bodys or just the one that you used here?

@bereniceacosta6794 Год назад

Hi Mike , are you located in California ?

@MikeMDs Год назад

Hi. Yes we are in Upland. Southern CA.

@taylordorian6288 Год назад

You ever see this cause a 2b64 fault code?

@nurseklb013175 Год назад

I am also getting this code. so far I have replaced : valve cover/gasket, spark plugs and coils, vannos solenoid, air intake tube, turbo, high pressure fuel pump, fuel filter. I am still getting this code. I have checked the idle circuit pcv hose and it is not leaking. I am pretty lost as what to do now. mine is a 2009 s auto
