Answer
You also need to check to see if you are loosing injector pulse. You can unplug any one of the injectors and use a test light or a 194 sidemarker bulb to jump across the 2 connector terminals. It should flash when cranking or running. Try it while it is running to make sure you are doing it right.
If you are loosing spark AND injector pulse, the problem is probably the crankshaft position sensor breaking down due to heat.
If you are ONLY loosing spark, it is probably the ignition module.
