I have recently bought a mpi mini and wondering if have done right.  Yesterday had trouble starting from cold.  Only way it would start was with perhaps half throttle.  Does anyone local to me have a code reader that works on mpi minis as my small reader will not work.  Quite happy to pay for time involved and provide cups of tea.

Also worth reading this Car Mechanics article on MPi Mini diagnostics, see link below.

 

Mini Mpi Diagnostics - Car Mechanics Magazine:-

The full article attached scanned in PDF for Diagnostics tracing and fixing common faults on the MEMS 2J (Modular Engine Management System) fitted to all MPI (Multi-Point Injection) Minis.

Start by measuring the voltage at the starter when cranking.
