Major problems

The guy I went to was at a local speed shop that does mostly fox bodies. I have never pulled the distributor off the motor. The ignition is grounded to the neg side of the battery(per the instructions that came with it). Everything just started out of the blue one day. It started off just feeling like it was misfiring at low RPM's. It has progressively gotten worse. I went as far as to disconnect the MSD to make sure that it wasn't the problem. That did nothing. This may sound like a dumb question but, where and what exactly is the tfi module? I got a letter about the recall, but my car did not fit into the parameters of the service, too many miles, ect. How do you check the fuel pressure? Where can I get a code scanner and about how much are they? If I get one, I'll post the codes. I haven't done anything with the fuel filter, but I'll replace it anyway, it probably needs it even if that is not the problem. Once again thanks for the suggestions.

Could it be the coil? Just a thought.
