Great...everything I've read a lot of people say its the edu pump most likely, so I'm going to have to check this weekend....pretty annoying getting a new car then having it quit working in less than a week....

Update, it start cold, but after about half an hour of driving it will act as if it wants to stall, it chokes and cuts out, and I have to BARELY give it gas to keep it running. Once I got home and went to start it again, it wouldnt. Checked and there is NO spark, cleaned the air flow sensor, checked coils and plugs all good. Guess Ill run a diagnostic on it this week. Wanted to avoid going to garage....
