Drivetrain Malfunction…sometimes

2016 Cooper S. Last Sunday, no problems, no issues. Got a new battery in November, replaced my ignition coils last May, spark plugs August 2023. 203,500kms Last Sunday evening, I start my car, drivetrain malfunction thing on the center dash comes up, engine light comes on. Greaaaaaaat. I get out of my car, lock it, unlock, get back in start it, no misfiring or knocking anymore, engine light is off, drivetrain malfunction is gone. Uhhh ok? I get back out, lock the car, my car alarm starts to go off. Greaaaaaaaat. I come back to the car like 2 hours later, go for a long drive, lock the car, no more car alarm. Ok, amazing. No problems all week. 30 minutes ago, everything I just described, happened again. What do I do? 😅 what could it be? I have a little cheap wireless scanner and the photo is what came up. I’ve read a similar post on here that it could be fuel injector starting to go, timing belt, anything else? Appreciate the feedback!

Hello fellow film makers! Rental house owners or grip van owners - how profitable are they? And/or how long did it take for you to be cash flow positive on it? I run a small rental house and have been flirting with a Sprinter type of package van. The thing that is giving me pause is just the sheer cost of filling it with gear. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40 thousand CAD. I get the odd request for a truck, but it's rare. I also acknowledge there's probably a bit of "build it and they will come", but it's a pretty big expense if it doesn't pan out. What're your thoughts and experiences, do's and don'ts etc. Thanks!
