Could be your battery, or alternator... I needed a new battery while I had this prob. and the battery ended up dying on me like a month l8r...
Have you had any "symptoms" before the car started doing this? Irratic idle, etc...

I had a similar problem with my evo 8. Car would stall out and die in neutral.
Problem was intermittent for a while, until it just would not idle at all. It turned out to be the idle control valve on the throttlebody. When they go out there is no code thrown.

What do you mean "steeper motor clicking" I had a problem like this a year ago and the battery and alternator were fine. One of my injectors was going bad and gave me a rough idle for about a month. I just swapped all of them and it's been fine since.

it could be your motor on TB? no Check engine light?, alternator maybe? crank pos sensor? how many miles on the car? when this happen... faulty fuel pump?
check fuel pump, pull it out... check wires, around injector area.. seems like the car is not getting fuel -

Kinda of a dumb question, but is the car still under Warranty? The Mitsubishi Roadside assistance may be able to tow it to a dealership.
It seems it could be one of numerous problems.

If you are describing what is going on in post 11, my evo had a fuel line pop off the pump. My mechanic just had to reattach it and put a better clamp on it. I didnt have a cel when I wasn't getting any fuel myself. Evo X btw.
