When it dies while driving, sometimes I put it in neutral and it starts right away. Other times it takes maybe 10 tries before it starts to work. Once I get home I've tested the fuel pressure and it's fine, but then again it starts up perfectly once I get home.

Yes, it runs perfectly once it starts again. It idles fine and there are no problems. I'm going to recheck all the wiring (plugs and plug wires are all 3 weeks old) and see what I can find. I'm thinking that if I test everything I won't find much because it's intermittent.

As for how to go about testing the module and coil, I haven't read it in detail yet (on lunch break now) but it's on a Chilton CD-ROM repair manual I have for my truck. I'll be looking into it later on.
