Evo 8 loses idle on freeway and dies

Was driving and I could feel the car like 'miss' and then my rpms would lower and the car would just die

The car would eventually start up but around 50-60 I could feel it sputter and then it would crap out again down the road
Had to pull over on the side of the road

Dies with ac on and off (tried to test a theory)

Checked all piping
No codes
Speed density
Been tuned for a very long time

Anything would help right about now

I had that same exact problem. Don't know why they crap out. My friend has went through two of them. Also... Email the owner at Omni. He is very helpful and may help you get it swapped out.
