Default new guy with v8 ranger

hey everybody im a newbie to this forum. Ive been having trouble with my ranger since i swapped in a 5.0 EFI.
so i replaced the ignition module today with a Accel module since thats the problem the diagnostic came up with. I have already replaced the ignition module once in November.
Once i installed it i fired up the truck it got up to operational temp and was running really good, after about 25 mins i turned the truck off.
Then i went to fire the truck back up and it wont start, it sounds like it did b4. I am so confused i knew the ignition module wasnt the problem.
Another thing is once the truck is cold it will start up usually.
