Going thru Ignition control modules need help

Symtems to start are the voltage gauge jumpimg around then the rpm gauge then when it gets worse stalling. There are 2 sensors in the control module the first time it went both these sensor where screwed wich cause the car to die when it got heated up then not start. The second time it happend only one of the sensors was gone the one that sends info to the ignition coil, and the car would stall voltage would drop to 9volts, Just putting up the windows would stall the car. Any Ideas out there. Thanks Timbo

No offense intended if you have done this but.....Are you making sure to put a healthy dose of dielectric grease on the ignition module. You wil fry the thing faster than Col. Sanders fries chicken if you don't. Your post was a bit unclear but it sounds like the you have a pretty serious charging problem. Start with the basics likt the battery and alternator. If this isn't what you meant to say then my mistake. That's how I read it at least.
