Distributor Module, Can somebody help?

"Vehicle 1991 GMC Syclone" Can the distributor module go intermittently or partially bad causing stalling when you stick the pedal to rush...! I replaced about every thing from spark plugs, wires with silicone coated pieces, fuel filter air filter and about every possible trouble root parts. Do not ask me for turbo or compression problems, these are fine. I am a hobby mechanic, but this one got me..!

    No, it either works or it doesn't. Have you had the battery and alternator checked. When you put a load on the engine, more voltage is required. A low voltage output from the battery will kill the engine. You might also check the cables for corrosion.
