Irish Mini Owners Club

i have a 94 mini cooper and once you start it it ticks over perfectly then once it starts to get warm it starts to splutter as if it is out of petrol and then cuts out. any ideas what the problem is ??? or is there any one around roscommon that could take a look i cant figure it out thanks

first place id look is at the vacuum pipes between the manifold & the ECU.

sorry, yea. the pipes and rubber joins get very warm and crack with age, leaking. take the vacuum pipe off the ecu and you should feel a good vacuum at idle, warm.
