Ok, here's my $0.02 worth, realizing that I'm not a mechanic, but have had my share of car problems.
If the engine cranks over well it isn't the battery or alternator.
If you are sure there is no spark at the time it is cranking, it is somewhere in the ignition system, not the fuel system. Make sure you do this same test on all plugs.
It sounds like they think the module was shot. I would go with that. If it still runs rough, replace the wires and plugs, especially if they have never been replaced. In cold damp weather like this, rotted wires easily lose their spark. They are relatively cheap to replace and it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace them anyway.
If that still doesn't fix it, I would go the next step which is the cap / rotor, etc.
My guess is that the module will fix it. If not, replacing the wires should. Based on my experience, problems with bad wires are far more pronounced when it is damp outside and when engines are cold.
