Spout Connector - error code 18

It's an 89 Bronco, 351 motor, C-6 transmission, and my daily driver back to work and such.

Tracked down what originally seemed to be just a fuel pump/relay problem. Replaced those and it was good to go.

Unfortunately, doesn't seem to be the extent of the problem. Bronco will sometimes start-run for a few miles. Go run an errand and come back out and
it just cranks. Wait an hour or so, it'll start and run for a few miles. Got it home today, check the low voltage on the coil, coil wire resistance, primary cicuit voltage, etc..... no luck.

Pulled the codes and got the 18 - open spout circuit.
Time to replace the module in the distributor??
Any help/ideas/places to start looking?

Thanks to any and all that can help -

I'd start with the module in the dizzy, yes...
