Hi guys, so I've had a few issues with my mini. The main one is the idle cut out at low revs. I've attached a video so you can see the problem.

Looks like i may need to get a new throttle/injector body but seeing as they don't make them anymore might be quite difficult.

Could it be anything else before I try and find or potentially spend lots of money replacing this part?
I appreciate all your help, I'm kinda stuck :-)

Checked the usual injection issues? Vacuum lines, fuel trap, etc.? Been serviced recently?

dont start splashing cash just yet

at the beginning of this section of the forum there are some pinned threads that I would suggest you read through first, these are very useful and very informative and are specific to the injection minis

Good practice to give some details as to what turned out to be the problem and what was done to fix it. Helps people searching in the future. Glad you got it sorted.

Turns out it was the hoses from the back of the inlet manifold to the air filter and fuel trap to cpu. Just replaced them and adjusted the idle speed and all worked fine. Hoses were £2 each. Such a cheap fix for something I thought was a serious problem! Great stuff!!!
