The TFI modules were notorious for going bad in Fords.
One of the signs of it going bad is the car stalling and not starting until the module cools off again.
Yes, replace the original module if you still have it. That's what I'm going to do. Keep the old one as a spare so you have one if the new one goes someday. That way, your're not left stranded somewhere.
I'm not sure if there is a difference between the Ford replacement or aftermarket units.
