Cooper R50 1.6 Cranks over but no start.
Hi peeps
i have a 2003 Mini Cooper 1.6 race car. The car has been absolutely mint. The other day we went to start it to move and we had nothing. When I say nothing it cranked over but wouldn’t start. The problem we have that as it’s a race car most of the wiring is cut down and also no obd port. This was all like it when we brought it.
so we can’t plug it in to read anything. After doing hours of tests we found that we have no spark. We have changed all plugs and leads and also coil. We have put a new crankshaft sensor in and also camshaft sensor all brand new nothing second had, and we still have nothing just cranking.
we have checked all fuses and relays alternator and starter and wires all fine. Battery is brand new ect.
so what we done was we got another wiring loom out of our spare car that was running mint and changed everything over from one car to the next. We swapped the ecu ews key and barrel and also fuse boxes.
went to start it and it does the same thing. It cranks over nice and fresh but won’t run at all. Took all the injector rails off and cranked it and we have no fuel coming out of either or any spark. All fuel is pumping fine from the tank ect.
we have been on this now for a few days. We are pulling our hair out. Is there anyone that can guide us through what we can do because we have gone through nearly everything and replaced everything 🤦♂️.
any info or help will be much appreciated 😎👍
