Default Please Help!

I have a 1996 F150 4x4 5.8L automatic and I'm having troubles with it. It has 173k miles. The truck runs very well for the most part however after a recent tune up ( to correct a misfiring issue ) the misfire has continued and it is now stalling. It will refire immediately and will idle for a while with a slight miss, but blip the throttle or put a load on it at idle such as crank the steering wheel and she dies. While driving it is fine but at a stop the problems come back. I have pulled the codes and come up with codes P1351, P1359, and P0401. Autozone suggested that it was the Ignition module and so I replaced it although it had been replaced already at some point. ( it had Napa written on it ) of course this made no difference. So far a new parts list includes a new EGR, Ignition Module, Plugs, Wires, Cap ,and Rotor. I have looked over the system for vaccume leaks or broken wires/plugs and came up with nothing there I even starred at it for an extended period of time no luck. Thanks for your time. Rob

i've heard that the parts catalogs are wrong (napa and ford) for the ICM. correct one's supposed to be black? i dont have much experience in this problem, but hope that might be helpful
