When the engine doesn't start, which is missing, fuel or spark?

That is helpful. I realize you replaced the ignition module, but I suggest returning it (hopefully under warranty) and trying a different one. That is exactly what they do. Also, check the wiring to it. Make sure all connections are good and none of the wires are broken.
