If they really mean the ignition module, afaik there isn't one on a 2001. I believe that they are now part of the computer -- changed in 96 when they went to obd2.

If they're having ignition troubles, I'm pretty sure that the computer(pcm) triggers the coil directly.

Maybe a 2nd phone call is in order for clarification.

TFI

TFI= "Thick Film Integrated" module, mounted to the side of the distributor. If this is the cause of a "no fire" and needs to be replaced make sure to use dielectric compound (to dissipate heat) on the mounting surface.
