I have a 2008 rtv 500 Will fire up and die but if I give it a little throttle it will idle but will not go full throttle as soon as I let on gas it does then go to restart it gets harder and harder

Sounds like a fuel delivery issue. Start by check/replace fuel filters. Is it carbureted? Clean the bowl and jets.

Also check your air filter box and remove mouse nests etc.

I agree sounds like carb if it has one. Sound like idle jet is clogged which could be from ethonyl gas. The idle jet is usually smaller of the two. I usually take out both and make sure they are clean. The jet also have holes on side that can clog.

how old is the 'gas' in the tank ?
has the tank ever been 100% drained and cleaned ?
original gas lines ?
when was carb 100% tore apart and cleaned ?

It is fuel injected and found out I’m only getting fire to one plug but the go to the same coil it it possible the coil is only firing from one side

I would try switching plugs to see if it fires. I have had a bad plug not fire would rule that out. Next if it fires then new plug. If not then I would try coil. You can test coil.
