As an American, here's a rephrased and personalized version: Picture yourself cruising in your MINI Cooper on the open road when suddenly you notice that the engine light has turned on halfway on your dashboard. What could be causing this issue? Seeing the half engine light typically means there's a problem with the fuel pump. Along with the illuminated light, possible signs you might notice are difficulty starting the car, jerky movements, the car stalling unexpectedly while in gear, and significant changes in acceleration. You might also observe the engine overheating or a sudden rise in its temperature. If the fuel pump is the culprit, it needs to be replaced. This repair could set you back anywhere from $148 to $353 for the parts alone.

Our small car was kept in the garage for three months, but we retrieved it recently after shelling out $900 for a new fuel pump. On my way home from work at 4am, the annoying half engine light suddenly lit up, causing the car to lose power. Fortunately, I was able to steer it into a parking lot instead of getting stuck in the middle of the road. Shout out to John for sharing some additional suggestions on resolving this issue.

Contrary to popular belief about the fuel pump, issues with the MAF sensor, NAP sensor, or PVC valve could also trigger the check engine light.

I own a 2013 Mini Clubman 1.6 that recently had a check engine light come on. I've already replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, coils, and spark plugs due to the issue. The only remaining problem is the check engine light being halfway on. I'm optimistic that replacing the map airflow sensor will resolve this issue. The car now starts up quickly and runs smoothly, unlike before when it felt like it was running on only two cylinders. I had tackled the coil pack issue earlier, and then I had trouble starting it due to a bad fuel pump and filter, which have since been replaced. Now, I'm just waiting for the new airflow sensor parts to hopefully fix the last remaining problem.🙏🙏

I'm experiencing identical issues with my Mini Countryman. It was supposed to be repaired 3 months ago, but now the problem has resurfaced. There must be a solution or a complimentary fix available for issues like this. It seems like this is a common occurrence.

Hey Diana, were you able to resolve the problem? My mom just handled this while she was driving.

The engine light turned on halfway to work today, and my car started stuttering and shaking, making it impossible to go faster than 25 mph. It was really irritating.

I wanted to see if Anita had managed to solve her car problem. We are facing a similar issue with our daughter's mini. After spending a lot of money, now the half-yellow engine light is on. The gas pedal is completely unresponsive unless I turn off the car and start it again. Thankfully, this happened just as I was leaving the driveway, so I was able to slowly drive it back home. Appreciate your help.
