P2293 on MINI by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
The N14 engine's high-pressure fuel pump (same issue as early BMW N54) fails prematurely, causing long cranking, rough running, and stalling. The internal cam follower wears down, reducing fuel pressure to the direct injection system.
Common Symptoms
- Long crank time
- Rough idle
- Stalling
- Loss of power under acceleration
- Fuel pressure fault codes
How to Fix
Replace HPFP and inspect cam follower for wear. Updated HPFP has revised internals. Check fuel pressure with scan tool - should be 50+ bar at idle, 100+ bar under load.

Frequently asked questions
What does P2293 mean on a MINI?
P2293 stands for "Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 Performance." This code means the engine computer has detected that the fuel pressure regulator 2 isn't performing as expected, so the system can't maintain the correct fuel pressure under varying conditions. On many direct-injection and high-pressure systems, regulator 2 controls the high-side fuel pressure, and the computer compares commanded pressure to what the fuel pressure sensor actually reports. When the measured pressure drifts too far from the target, it sets this performance code, which can cause hard starting, rough running, hesitation, reduced power, or stalling. Causes typically include a faulty regulator or high-pressure pump, a fuel delivery restriction, or a pressure sensor problem. On MINI it is documented across 1 model: Cooper S.
What are the most common causes of P2293?
The most common causes of P2293 are: Faulty fuel pressure regulator (regulator 2), Failing high-pressure fuel pump, Faulty or out-of-range fuel rail pressure sensor, Clogged fuel filter or restricted fuel supply, Weak low-pressure (lift) pump feeding the high-pressure system, Leaking fuel injector bleeding off pressure, Wiring or connector fault to the regulator/pump, Air or contamination in the fuel system. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P2293 on a MINI?
Published repair estimates on MINI range from $500 to $1,200 depending on the model and root cause. If an issue mentions a recall or campaign, check your VIN with the manufacturer or NHTSA and confirm eligibility and coverage with a dealer.
