Timer Control

Hello, My in laws 96 villager dies out when its been parked for an amount of time, took it to the shop to get a diag. and they said its the timer module. where is this located? and im having a horrible time getting ahold of one of these. any help is appreciated.
thanks!

What was the code number that indicates it is a timer control??? I have not run across this problem before. Can you give us a better description of the problem.
How many miles on vehicle?? Has the fuel pressure been checked with a fuel pressure testing gauge when starting after the vehicle has not been run for a period of time??
Does this vehicle have a security system on it??
