Default CAR Stalls Help

Ok I been having this problem for a couple of weeks now on my car (1995 Mustang 5.0 ). As im driving down the road my car just dies. Sometimes its starts right back up and will run fine for a couple days. Other times I have to wait several mins before it will start. Well, the coil does not give spark to the distributor. I changed the coil but the problem still occurs I came to the conclusion it might be my distributor or a relay. Not sure witch relay it might be or if the distributor can be the cause. I will appreciate any insight. Thanks[:@]

it could be the TFI module that plugs into the distributor. I would get this checked before I spent money to replace the distributor.

Whats the TFI module and where is it located? The connector to the distributor goes right to the engine harness. I cant trace it unless i ripe the plastic off.

TFI = thick film ignition and the module is the large gray plug that plugs right into the base of the distributor with several wires coming out of it.
