A P0351 -- number one ignition coil primary circuit. This can be set by a broken wire to the ASD power supply, a bad wire from the driver wire from the coil to the engine controler, or a bad ignition coil, or in some rare cases the ECM coil driver can be bad. Does the engine start right back up?

Hi, yes it starts up by pumping the accelerator while it is coasting usually at WOT.

Check the wiring to the ASD. The hard part is going to be the fact that the wire may be broken internally and making contact until moved. Check for continunity while moving them around.
