Is that the way these things go - only find out at startup - or can they die while the motor is running, too?

the ones I've had go bad started misfiring on multiple cyls as soon as I started it up & had to gun it to limp it home & people thinking their hearing gunfire or firecrackers

I had an Orange box that would cut out with no rhyme or reason while driving. This one time it cut out, it fired back up before I had time to react while cruising along at almost 70MPH......

My ears rang for a few days.

As an aside, this was an old(er) Orange box from the late '80's (if I had to guess). By the time it started cutting out, it had logged well over 100K miles and had been on at least 4 different cars.
