engine powering down unexpectedly

Good day, everyone! I'm back with my verdict: the automobile is driving OK until it suddenly turns off. Among the fault codes I've seen are instructions to inspect the electric fuel pump, the rail pressure sensor, and the high pressure pump. I drove this car around town three times before it died; I had it for precisely seven weeks. With no issues whatsoever, the vehicle managed to go five weeks without turning off. What do you think of my 2012 Mini Cooper S? I appreciate it in advance

Check the low pressure fuel pump circuit's conductivity with a voltmeter.

What do you think? I'll give it a shot. Despite the fact that it drives 98% of the time, might it be the fuel pump? I drove it independently for one hour without any problems. I'm not sure what else to do; should I run tests?

Is there whirring to the rear, near the fuel tank, as you bring the automobile to a stop? At first, in the United States, about 2011 or so, there was a bit of a worry. I didn't give it much thought, but I was buying parts nevertheless. and I bought a spare one but never put it in. It sounds like it might be labouring lately, so I might have to do it soon. but I am continuing to use it for the moment. an option among these.

When I bought mine, it was brand new and cost little around $300. I believe their current price is less than $100 USD. However, the real concern was that these gasoline leak tests wouldn't work as intended as a two-in-one device. The pressure in the tank is checked to ensure there are no leaks, which is one thing about it. 2 being that issues can arise in the event of a leak or faulty item. Remember that I never installed mine; it's still in the bag. However, I failed to pay attention to the rearview mirror back then, which would have informed me of the car's age. Before, there was a lot less noise. well, it's still not an issue. Given their affordable price tag of less than $100, you might want to give them a listen once you switch them off, beneath and directly forward of the right rear tire.

My Mini Cooper S is located in the USA in California, so I appreciate you letting me know about that. I haven't heard anything out of the ordinary, but I will be extra careful next time. The majority of my driving time is spent with the scanner plugged in, allowing me to track the shutdown as it occurs. once more, I appreciate the helpful details you provided.
