Engine sputters below 800 rpm and has twice just died!!!! WTF!!!!! He this happened to anyone? Should I bring it in? Help!!!!

Yes bring it in. It only has 500 miles. Go to the stealership now and put that warranty to use!

Well I bought the car a week ago.....so I assume that they did all the latest TSB's.
How would I be able to find out what TSB's have already been preformed on my car?

Pop your hood, On the left side under your hood you should have a white sticker that says authorized modifications, etc. I thought the same thing when I bought my car, as it turned out it didnt have the latest flash.

Every car has faults, there is no perfect car. The quality is good and the reason you think there are so many terrible stories, but the truth is people post when any problem comes around and people dont post when there is no problem. I really bet there are a ton more evo x's without problems than with. You just never see a thread like "YEA 20K MILES AND THE CAR RUNS LIKE IT SHOULD." Think about it.

To the OP, take your car to the dealer and get the flashes if you havent had them yet and you should be fine.

Ask anyone who has the car what they think of it, Even if they have had a couple minor issues (which comes with ANY car), they will tell you they love it.

This also happens when you're low on fuel.
