From my experience, a TFI module won't act that way. Have you looked @ crank rotation relative to the distributor? I mean, how far does the crank turn before the rotor turns (both directions). Maybe the timing chain is stretched too far.

Mine had this problem when i bought it i was hoping it was something in the tuning but it turned out to be a valve issue! MY dad showed me this trick holding a dollar bill to the exhaust and it sucked it in and he said you got a valve problem. Yeah he was right!
