A bit of a weird one

Post by charcosull »

My mini started acting up yesterday. With the passenger door open the engine wouldnt start. Close the door and she starts perfectly. Open the door when its running and she cuts out. Close the door quick enough and it sparks back into life. Any ideas as to whats going on. Great as a party trick for a day or 2 but I can see this getting annoying fast.
