If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.
Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

Well think that was it!
Got the new crankshaft sensor put in yesterday test run today and everything was great.
One thing that may have been a symptom is that after running for a while and if I would stop for say gas and start soon after it would crank hard like the battery was dead but would correct itself after releasing the key and trying again done it since I bought the car does not now?
Thank you all for the help.

Read through my thread to see what I did. Ended up being burnt solder on the relay box in the engine bay. You having a 1998 should be an MPI. I don't know how similar those are to the SPI, if you have the same relay box or not.

Fuel and tank look good. Not getting spark when it shuts down. Wait 2-3 hours and starts and runs fine until warm again.
Thank you and will keep an eye on my tank.

PITA to pull the tank and remove the top fuel pump and plate to gander inside.

(Newer Mini owner!)
Start the car and it runs great I drive to work/home about 30-40 minutes.
When I park turn the car off it won't restart? After sitting the car has
completely cooled it will start and do it all over again.... The car has
died on me once while driving and would not restart had to have it towed. I
have checked and I am not getting spark so I changed coil pack (same
problem). What's next? ECU? Or are there things I can test change trouble
shoot before I go that route?
Thank your your help and recommendations.
