Based on what you explained and what you have already tested/done, I would suggest you replace the pickup coil AKA stator in the distributor. In order to do this you will have to remove the distributor, the distributor gear and then replace the stator. This part only costs 30-40 dollars and can be found at auto zone or advance auto.
An alternative is to replace the whole distributor (more costly).

I had to do this on both my son's 89 and daughter's 90.

Hope this helps
Mike

Did you also have the Ignition Coil checked when you checked the ignition contol module?

You can check it yourself or take it to auto zone or advance auto to have it tested. It sits on top of the ICM and has the plug wire attached to it.
