WARNING: Never leave the coil ground wire on the front of your valve cover off and start your car. This is what caused the Hell I went through with my car. You would think the Manufacturer would have some inline protection since the placed it in such a stupid senseless location knowing what can happen if it is forgotten off.

all those codes are related to the engine start operation
Unfortunately the diagnostic codes can't tell you 100% what the problem is, they only know their tiny piece of the larger puzzle - as an example:
the AOB3 code denotes starter malfunction - AOB4 is also related to starting but specifies the CAS module, and triggers when the diagnostic system notices that the car isn't starting. really vague.

I bought 3 different Diagnostic Code readers and surf the web and no one has a proper explanation of the or solution for 4 trouble codes I found, A0B3,A0B4,A0B5,A0B6. The last Diagnostic tool I purchased was a AP200 and the manufacturer could not explain the true fix for the codes their reader is giving.
Why manufacture a tool you do not know 100%.
I have given up on this junk.
I am at the point of taking my piece of junk and selling it to a junk yard. I will never buy another Mini Cooper.

I test drove the car and heard a slight tapping noise so decided to remove the valve cover to check that all is good and forgot to reconnect the coil wire ground at the front of the valve cover. When I started the car again it start and close off then wiill not start again. The car cranks fine but will not start and there is no sparks at the plugs. I can not find a solution for this problem. I know leaving the coil wire groind off caused the problem but I tested all fuses, relays,sensors nothing. Can anyone help?
Thank You in advance.

I was thinking I may have to purchase a ECU DME Engine CAS Ignition Key Set , it will be cheaper than taking my car to the dealer to trouble shoot. I took it to the dealer when I had the misfire on Cyl #3 and they took my money and told me nothing I did not know.
