There's actually a fair amount of vehicles that have this issue between 95-05. Run a compression test when cold, and again when warmed up. The colder the oil the thicker it acts, completing the seal of the piston rings. As it warms up the oil gets thinner and doesn't complete the seal of the piston rings resulting in gasses slipping past and reduce the amount of combustion power to a point where it cant keep the engine running.

The ignition module may be intermittent. The answer above is not even close and of no value.
