Al, that has not been our experience. If there is a failure of the ignition system such as a wiring connection or keyswitch failure, then it does quit instantly as you describe. However, coil failure caused by overheating often mimics fuel starvation with a brief slowing and stumbling before shut down.
That is what made it so perplexing to troubleshoot back when EI related coil failures were common.
