Yeap. I figured that was it. Same with the time it was doing that in my truck. Feel better now?

I had a module do that, near as I could figure the module would just build up too much heat with no air through the engine bay, and it would stop working.
yes quite happy bot my truck
this is the accident.. traffic was stopped when the cops were taking measurements... looks like the truck went from the south bound lane over the guard rail hit a nother car outta view and fliped across the 2lanes.. pretty nuts.. it was an F250

so you swapped out the ignition module?
Sounds about like my '87...issue after issue with the TBI setup. It STILL doesn't run right after $500 in parts and a $300 mechanic's bill. Wish there was an easy way to convert to SFI with coil-on-plug, without a complete engine swap.
Least you got yours running right

TBI is almost bone simple. I call it the carb of the fuel injection crowd. And ready it was not the TBI that was the problem. The problem was in the ignition.
new problems.. anyone have ideas?

Check for a vacuum hose leak.
On mine, it turned it was a vacuum leak due to a cracked/aged TBI base gasket. I checked all the hoses and they were fine, but never thought about the actual gasket that sealed the TBI unit to the intake - that was the part the mechanic I took it to discovered.
The fuel pump was also puking its guts out, but that was coincidental and not related to the stalling issue (as near as I can figure).

Yeah seeing as you have been screwing around the engine getting the module out you could have knocked a hose off or cracked one, or it could be the base gasket for the TBI as said earlier
