Your dieing problem is most likely the stator inside the distributor. You have to remove the distributor from the engine and disassemble it to replace the stator. You could install a rebuilt distributor, but a lot of them are junk, ie a bad stator just like you probably have now.

There is a slight possibility your ignition module is causing your problem. But nearly all the time when the ignition module goes dead it's dead, and doesn't come back alive and allow the engine to restart.

You said just replaced coil. I assume you meant the ignition coil? That is another thing that could cause the problem you're having. Good luck fixing your problem.
