Starting/stall isn't normally an opti problem. If it's running that poorly it would probably throw a code for the low RES side. If the EMC isn't getting a signal it will not advance the timing properly, so the car may idle but will stall/sputter under load, but tipically won't cause the car the stall out at idle.

Is the coil wire clipped all the way in? Actually happened to a friend when he changed wires and two weeks later the car died, towed it home and found the coil wire was clipped all the way in.

That said, before digging into the opti I would suggest looking at the ign module/coil or even fuel.

But it also sounds like you have a pretty serious coolant leak?
