Hi,
I have recently purchased a 1994 mini cooper SPI and evry now and then when I am driving the car will cut out when I dip the clutch it to change down a gear. It will start up again straight away but I cant figure out why this keeps happening. I have read the following post http://www.theminifo...;hl=cutting out but I do not know what the Air Values are? Please Help.

Fixed it, simply bought a new fuel trap sensor and both the vacuum pipes that attach to this fitted the parts and it is running like a dream now!

I wonder what's inside a Fuel Trap? Has anyone ever opened one up? They don't feel like there'd be much to them.

I'm just wondering how and why they fail.

It can't be the fuel trap that was causing the problem unless it was leaking or becoming blocked. It seems more likely that the vacuum tubes had a leak. I wish that was my problem...I keep checking them again and again hopefully.
