Dies intermittantly while driving "SOLVED"

I checked the fuel pressure it was good. Replaced the crank sensor behind the starter but that did not solve the problem. Replaced the Ignition control module (its located under the coil packs) and all is well now. The car never threw a code. I hope this helps someone. The module cost me 123.00 after taxes at the auto parts store near me but was cheaper at Rock Auto although I didn't want to wait for shipping so I paid the more expensive price.

New issue...car died again after two weeks. The BWD module died. They replace the part with another BWD brand part. Hope this one last. Its all they had. They said they could order another brand but it would take a while. I replaced it and it is running fine again. Wish me luck

usually its heat that kills them, if its bolted to a heat sink make sure you clean it off and use lots of dielectric grease to transfer the heat
