Engine cutting out
I Have a problem with my 1991 mini city E 998. This problem has been ongoing for sometime but I cant nail it down as the circumstances change. On some occassions my poor mini loses power around 50 - 60 mph and cuts out - I have to perform a rolling start or start the engine again. Sometimes I even have to wait for a couple of minutes before the engine will turn over. Other occassions it will be completely fine then all of a sudden when pulling away at traffic lights the engine cuts out and I have to restart again. A couple of weeks ago I took me an hour to travel 1 mile home due to this cutting out problem. Then I can maybe drive the car the next day and it will be fine. Problem is I cant use my mini as its now unreliable and Im stuck. I have replaced the points, distributor cover, air filter rotary arm, ignition points, ht leads. This problem can happen in damp and dry conditions. Can anyone help? - I miss driving my mini to work. (Oh, and I used to have a K&N air filter - I have now reverted back to the standard one)
