About Stopping a Coroutine If false, Then restart it when true

Hi folks, thanks to you all for making this community alive.

I’ve been messing around with Coroutines and tried to make my own from reading advice from everywhere and I don’t think this simple thing I want was answered literally anywhere else.

I simply want to start a coroutine with a Seconds timer that:
(example)
On button press (keep pressed)
Timer starts (4 seconds) // something happens
On button Stop pressing
Timer stops and resets.
Then if you press that damn button again. the timer starts again.

Whatever I tried, the timer never stopped from running if I unpressed the button.
I (shamefully) post my code here but let me warn you that I tried so much ways that this may not even be the closest that I get from getting it working.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Dropper : MonoBehaviour
{
Coroutine thecoco;
public bool runtimer;
private float time;
private bool wazzo;
void Start()

{
    thecoco = StartCoroutine(Timer());
    wazzo = (Input.GetKeyDown("space"));
    time = 4f;
    if (!Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
    {
        StopCoroutine(thecoco);
    }

}
public IEnumerator Timer()

{

    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(time);
        this.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = true;
    }

}
private void Update()
{
   if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
    {
        wazzo = true;
    }
    if (Input.GetKeyUp("space"))
    {
        wazzo = false;
    }
    if (wazzo == true)
    {
        StartCoroutine(Timer());
    }
    if (wazzo == false)
    {
        StopCoroutine(thecoco);
    }
}

}

Thanks, you guys (gals) are amazing

    }
