You've probably spent more on spraying the problem with part than it would have cost for professional diagnostics.
While gaining experience, and probably accomplishing most of the preventative maintenance that would have been recommended anyway, you probably do have an ignition module that is failing open when it heats up. If you replace that ignition module, apply silicon grease to the contact surface to allow for heat transfer, or the new module could go bad quickly.

Trace for a short on that circuit. There could be a short in the harness or the PCM could be shorted internally.

I suspect a short inside the ECM.
