Sounds like the ignition module to me. The computer will not fire the injectors unless it is receiving a signal from the module.

Go to a pick and pull and get a few from some TBI vans and trucks. Pocket them, so their free. Thats what I did when my RS needed one. lol I had an extra one I gave to the new owner. I should've kept it.
