This is a question Winging It

Don Spang says: I once found myself winging it in a job interview and somewhat exaggerated my technical experience in the field of mainframe computer operations. 24 years later, I'm still there. Ever had to improvise to get by? Tell us you tales of MacGyver-type genius.

I think..
...that you are maybe using 'stall' to mean 'the engine stopping' (as you might use the term in a car).

In aviation, 'stall' is only really used to describe an aerodynamic phenomenon i.e. the loss of lift over an aerofoil (normally the wings). You can have stalls in jet engines due to the loss of lift in compressor blades, but it doesn't sound like this is what you mean.

In any case, if you replace "stall" with "simulated engine failure" in your post, then both your and EuroSong's post make total sense.

Actually
I think you're right. Re-reading the OP in the context of engine cutting out makes a lot more sense.
