I replaced the Ignition Control Module. Problem fixed. A few weeks later, the problem came back. I took the part back to (O'Reilly's) and got another ICM. Problem fixed. Two weeks later, now it's happening again. Bad parts or something else? Your advice is appreciated.

Module will overheat if it can't conduct heat to the heat sink. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
