car stalled this morning?!?! ugh

this car is really making me mad, first its the hesitating when giving it gas, now it stalled on me. i started it up in the morning, and put it in reverse, and gave it gas to go, and it felt like misfire, then it died, but when i started it back up it was fine? and the thing is, when i start it up in the morning, it does this all the time, its only like the 1st or 2nd time its stalled, but when i start it up on a cold start and give it gas, it will feel like its misfiring on all cylinders, and i can hold the peddle to the floor for a few seconds and the car will not move, and its done that a few times too. i swear im about to tell mitsu to give me another car cuz this one is a lemon. its going back to the dealer to have them look at it, but of course it will run perfectly fine for them. i swear there has to be something wrong with this car, because if it stalls or misfires on a cold start at 65 degrees, imagine what its gonna be like when its 0 degrees?

The car is to young to be stalling and shutting off on its own.

use your camera phone and get the RPM gauge on camera and documented with the KM, so that if the problem gets worse and you showed it to Mitsu early you will not have any problems or denial of service on your hands. second think back to when you first had the problem did you do anything outside the normal triend like buying gas at a shaddy pump station, contamination, second it could be electrical problem, it would hurt to have them check your battery. a battery that is not holding a charge properly could give you problems right off the start since there is an heavy load on your alternator. Batteries fail all the time.

other then thatits hard to decern what could be the problem.

hope all goes well.

cheers

Drop it off at the dealership for an overnighter...and tell them to only start it that morning, like how you would and see they can duplicate it.

actually, what it seems like is, when i start the car in the morning, the rpms will stay at 1500 and when i put it in gear, the rpms will stay at 1500 sometimes instead of dropping back down to like 900-1000, and if they stay up there like that and i give it gas, it will stall or studder. im thinking maybe its not going into gear fast enough or something, because ive tried giving it gas while the rpms drop when putting it into gear and it does the same thing, so im thinking it has something to do with that, like a safety precaution for the tranny? as far as gas goes, i get the same gas from the same gas station like 95% of the time, so i doubt its that
