Having an education doesn't mean your well off. It all depends on what your goal in life is and how hard you work to achieve it. It seems you did very well . It seems that the generation of today doesn't care about their future. All they want to do is leech off other people around them and do nothing. This country might be the laughing stock of the world one day because our own people are content in their welfare/parasitic lifestyle. They don't even want to get employed...

-end rant

Wow that was really off topic

On subject now... Did you get some of your problems fixed yet?

Possible bad ignition module. I would pull it off and see if it is burnt, make sure it has grease behind it

Ignition module, located on the distributor. When they start to go bad they can act just like you describe. Perhaps @jrichker has a checklist for this?

No.
The TFI module mounted on the distributor is usually the culprit for a high speed miss on a warm engine. If the problem does not occur when the engine is cold, the TFI module is definitely suspect. You may need a special socket to remove the TFI module, but most auto parts stores will have one for $5-$7.

Be sure to use plenty of the heat sink grease on the new TFI and clean the old grease off the distributor.

Umm no. That is what makes it "special" they dont usually come in a kit due to its odd size and overall shape. Usually a specialty tool that you'll use once or twice unless you rebuild cars on a daily basis.
