Engine Stalls at any speed

My 1985 190E 2.3 8vlv has developed a serious problem.

The engine will stall on me at any speed, not while coming to a stop, not while coasting in idle, just any speed, even on the highway when doing 120kmph it will stall.

I'm not sure what it could be but I is rather dangerous to drive the car like this and I would like to get it fixed.

Once it does stall, it won't start up again until a few minutes pass, I think the engine gets flooded, or something, but that's what happens everytime. After a few minutes pass, it will start right up and keep on going like nothing ever happened.

The only notification I get of the engine dying is that when I step on the gas, there is no response at all, all the gauges work like they are supposed to, and once the car stops and rpms drop to zero, then all the dash lights come on.

Could it be that the ignition coil is overheating? It is quite old, but I'm not sure if I can test this or not. It seems to me like there is no spark being produced, and the engine cuts, but the tranny keeps it spinning which is why there is no indication, is that even possible?

This problem has me really worried...
Someone help
