Well with any internal combustion engine you need fuel, spark, and compression, all timed correctly. You can narrow your area of repair by giving it a shot of starting fluid, if it starts and dies you have a fuel problem. Pull a plug wire, or coil and put a spark plug in it grounded to the engine and see if it sparks. You can also buy the proper noid light, and see if the injectors are getting power to squirt. If all that's good a compression test, then a service manual will take you from there. Good luck.

Other good no fuel tests are to listen for the couple seconds of fuel pump running noise when you first put the key in the run position. Are you out of gas? did you get a load of water with the last fill up? have you changed the fuel filter?

You might try checking the OBD port for any error codes recorded into the computer. Any local national auto parts store should be able to read this free of charge...

I presume there hasn't been any changes / service to the car recently.

Hello, new to forum, recent mini owner, 04 Cooper s. little over 200k, needs oil change but otherwise in excellent running condition. So the other day she stalled out, right after a light. cranked, wouldn't go, waited a few minutes, cranked, started briefly, stalled out, repeated a couple more times over an hour. Next day won't start at all. No warning lights, no previous history, was running fine (great, actually ) before this issue. Where do I look? no sure if fuel pump, relay, DME, map, tmap, crank? some sensor maybe, but it doesn't seem the pump is getting power...anyone?
