No, it will cut off within seconds. A fuel injection system will react very different than an old carburator engine which will sputter and die slowly as the fuel empties from the float chamber. On a FI car the fuel pumps must maintain the line pressure at about 35psi, when the pump cut out fuel pressure drops immediatly and no fuel can spray from the injectors. The gas stays in the line but at ambient pressure. Once the pumps decide to start again pressure builds immediatly and she will run. An intermittently bad solder joint can give the exact problem you describe.
Yes they do run pretty warm.
Hope you have it fixed!!
