You dont have enough power to make a spark look at the battery and then change out the pugs and wires it should do the trick.

Did you buy a quality ignition module or a cheap off brand one. I'd go to the ford dealer and buy one and be sure to use the tube of dielectric grease that comes with it.

When you replaced the ignition module, did you use the white grease looking stuff under it to help disipate the heat at the mounting surface?
It may need to be replaced again.

sure sounds like ignition module, but you already replaced that so maybe replace the stator pickup inside the distributor.

could be a few things . but starting with the obvious, have you changed the coil lead and plug leads?
they could be deteriorated which will cause intermittent ignition probs.
after that could be an immobiliser fault?
general electrical prob?
