Well, if you're going to be picky about wording - please explain the mechanical process involved when a piston engine 'decides' to suddenly stop? And what causes it to 'burp'? Fizzy avgas?
Not saying it couldn't happen ever, just saying it's not very likely. The only thing I can think of would be a broken crankshaft.
Why would you need the detent to teach range autos or 180's , you just hold the throttle closed and control rpm with the lever. . .
