no it would just cut out and start up straight away you might have a crank sensor fault you need to get it scanned for fault codes,
i'm a motor vehicle technician of 26 years so if you want help i'll give you a hand if you want so can you get it scanned for codes...rik

stalling has stopped (for now) its just taking a few goes at starting up and sounding abit rough, also replaced ecu relay and fuel pump relay
