Car Forum / MINI / April 2004Need Help on Multi Point Mini
Hi all, I have a MPI Mini, in the USA so no diagnostic equip available. My car will cut out every now and then , completely dies, usually under hard acceleration, if I dip the clutch and rev the engine a few time in will come back on strong. Also is seems the motor runs rich. I am hoping it is the Lambda sensor, so I bought a new one, now I did not look too close when taking off the plug to get a spanner on the sensor, can anyone confirm the colour code the sensor has four wires 2 white a black and a grey. Hope someone can confirm which wires they match up to in the harness as the wires there are different colours. Cheers Alan Hi Alan, Black from the probe = white Grey from the probe = brown White from probe = yellow & Black White from the probe = yellow & purple HTH Will send a photograph Fitzy > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.627 / Virus Database: 402 - Release Date: 3/16/2004 Thank you for the reply, Seems the wiring colors are not standard on all MPI wiring harness. My harness wires are Blue/Red, Black, Grey or Slate and Grey/Green. Cheers Alan > Hi Alan, > Black from the probe = white Grey Signal Black > Grey from the probe = brown Grey/Green Lambda Ground Grey > White from probe = yellow & Black Blue/Red White Heater wire > White from the probe = yellow & purple Black White Heater wire Hope this is right.

Car is a 1972 Min total rebuild using all the Sportpack parts. Hope that helps.

You own one of those grey "ringer" imports. It could even be a stolen european car for all you know. Hi Nicholas, I agree there are a tremendous amount of illegal late Minis in the USA and some may well be stolen. Mine however is a rebuild 1972, who on earth would go to all the effort of adding the gutter lip on a shell, especially those people retagging stolen cars. Also if this is in fact a late car, why did they change the rear window pillars where the seat belts mount, change the gutter drains to the position of the earlier type remove the place where the air bag brain resides, and other missing features that come on a Real Sportpack . It would certainly have been cheaper to retag a car, although I am not about to risk being caught doing that, but my car, and all the MOt's support this information as well, did start life as a 1000 cc Mini in a horrible purple/ blue colour. Can you help with the wiring problem though. Cheers Alan > > Motor, internals and wiring are from a Sportpack Cooper S so, 1997 on. Car > > is a 1972 Min total rebuild using all the Sportpack parts.
