Mini Cooper all of a sudden will not start but will if it's pop started. Check ignition switch which is fine now it's just a prosses of elimination. Any idea?

What is your question?

Was teaching sister to dive it(Manual)and after several stalling out it just wouldn't start is when the problem started along with overheating which was just the thermostat. Had to clean out the throttle position sensor with brake cleaner a few days after I first got the car which fixed the very sluggish ecceletation. Now it just won't start.

How long has your 2005 Mini Cooper had this problem?

Couple days
