try just plugs first. start cheapest and work your way one step at a time...

my friend just had this same problem with his car, he replaced the plugs and nothing. turned out to be the coils, I would work my way up to them one piece at a time. Or you could do a spark tech non-cdi and make sure that you never have ignition issues again

What boost, and what spark plug gap are you running??

Im at stock boost and the plugs are gapped to .28! Darn ignition coils are expensive but I can't see anything else it could be....

Sorry to hear your problem... I feel you man as my evo did the same thing. I have an 05 Evo 8 with right around 70,000 miles. I was running right around 30psi with E-85 on the stock 16g. I never had the problem while running lower boost" 22 psi and under".... for some reason what would happend was while like doing a 3rd gear pull right under max load or maybe a little higher it would start to sputter and would lose all power and a little higher rpm's and it would go away and regain all its power. I really didnt notice this until going to more boost as it seemed to do it worse under more boost. However, I noticed that If I went to the track or would go from a dead stop for example...Launch and go through all the gears without stopping it will never cut out. Also if I roll into the throttle and dont give it time to be under max load for much time it wont cutout. End result I went to an FP red here recently and was doing a flash tune and I dont know if it was the misfire that caused it or what exactly it was but all I know is that it leaned way out right around the misfire error "max load" and knocked some high counts and through a rod right through the block. I know what it sounds like. It sounds like this is knock...well its not because remember as I said it even misfired before when it wasn't knocking at all. I logged every pull "including the kaboom log" lol. Also it would do it while logging for my tuner and everything looked perfect on his side. I'm now doing a 2.1 build and couldn't be happier because It would have blown eventually anyway and now I'm going to replace the coils because I think that might be what it is. I always ran bpr8es and .022-.028 gap "Tried Everything" and the problem never went away. It would be awesome if anyone who has had this problem knew a fix. Ignition? Fuel? Coils? Spark? gotta be a simple fix.......

I have the same problem with an 03 evo, I only hit "fuel cut" in 3rd gear when im doing a 2nd to 3rd pull. Good luck to you.
