| Gasoline Fuel System problems |
Vehicle was driven 1. 2 miles for first run of the day. Temp was 48 f. Car was in drive at stoplight when engine accelerated beyond max rpm. Car lunged forward into intersection and a lot of effort had to be applied to brake to keed car from going any further. Driver grabbed gear shifter and shifted to neutral and having slipped into reverse. Engine rpm then subsided and vehicle was then driven 14 miles with no further incidence.
On 4/9 I purchase a 2009 Mini cooper. On 4/14 I was in traffic and the car started surging and the engine light came on. I called the service adviser who suggested I replace the gas cap. I ignored her response because it only clicks once and I know this was completed properly and immediately took the car in for service. There findings were as follows; however I have seen several other postings only for the same problems. Cause: interrogating fault memory found high pressure system to low performed test plant on dme control unit found working normal, performed test with fuel pressure fail, was to low open high pressure pump, found fuel pressure pump/shaft defect, crack spend free.
