zedoscarro,
There is no yes or no answer, it all depends on circumstances.

If it was a "stall" (if that is what has happened) that shut the engine down, that sound serious to me.

In one personal experience of a really big "backfire at about 120 kt and subsequent abort, examination of the engine revealed that there was serious internal damage ---- even though idle parameters were normal and the engine still made "down line" acceleration checks.

If it was a stall that resulted in something like a stable sub-idle, with no EGT limits exceeded, or other obvious indicated damage, but you needed to shut the engine down to re-establish control of the engine, that would merit much thought.

If it was just a "chuffle", such as you might get with a X-wind gust, or hanging onto reverse a little to long, with no adverse indications, that recovered itself, you would probably leave the engine running.

Tootle pip!!
