hesitation and**********

enter yoMy car is a 2008 MINI John Cooper Works. The car runs ok when using the standard ECU tune, although there is a hesitation problem when going from 1/8 throttle to part throttle. When I upload the ECU tune from a popular vendor, which has run problem-free on many many cars identical to mine, the hesitation problem is exacerbated, and the car is not as fast as other cars with the same tune. I have tried other tunes from the same vendor, so i know it's not the tune, and he also is very sure that it isn't the tune. I have done several datalogs, and my tuner says that the car is retarding timing by about 5-6 degrees. My boost curve is flat and exactly where it should be. Fuel pressure seems to be ok as well. The car is difficult to drive and is******.

My brother has a 2010 MINI John Cooper Works, so I have traded a few parts with his car to see if anything on my car is faulty.

I have:

changed MAF sensor
changed both MAP sensors
changed the precat 02 sensor
changed the diverter valve
changed the pressure converter on the inlet manifold
changed the spark plugs
done a complete carbon cleaning of the inlet valves
done a smoke test to check for vacuum leaks,
probably a few other things that I've no doubt forgotten.

None of these things has fixed the problem

If you would like datalogs or any other info, my email is [email protected]
