I'm not sure how reliable the tests you had done on the module were, I still would not rule out the module. It may also be the knock sensor, which is probably located near the crank position sensor.
If you get to the point of replacing the module or coils. The standard advise is to replace all of these together with AC Delco parts. Some alternative modules are not as good. Also it may be a faulty coil that caused the module to fail and leaving it in place will just cause the new module to fail. Also, I'd check those new wires carefully. A bad wire can stress a coil and in turn stress the module.

Thanks! The car runs fine after installing a new module and coil packs.

Proving once again that those parts store "ignition module testers" aren't worth the bother.
