The modual overheats, killing the engine. The car cools down and it works for a while.

Also there may be an ignition coil issue, but I'd do the modual first.
Agreed.
FWIW any new module, even a crap one comes with the heat sink grease in a tiny tube included with the part.... there is no need to take a special trip to Radio Shack........
