Engine looses spark and stalls after warming up 15 min.

I had the same thing happen to a friend's car. It had a code 42. I replaced the ignition module and hasn't stalled since.

I did some research online and found a few others that had the same problem and all of them suggested to replace the module. Sounds like it is a common issue.
