1995 ford escort sport lx 180,000 im thinking the problem can be, the [b:9f5acfc132]ignition control module[/b:9f5acfc132]?

let me remind you what is happening and what ive gone:

[i:9f5acfc132]here is the problem i have with it as of this morning:

i start it up, and it just dies, it stays running for 10 seconds, then shuts off. here is what i have done:

1)changed the air filter
2)changed the fuel filter
3)changed the fuel pump
4)changed the o2 sensor
5)changed out with a used MAS
6)changed out with a used IAC (both from pick n pull)
8)new gaskets in all the necesary parts[/i:9f5acfc132]

and have gone and [b:9f5acfc132]taped up all the hoses[/b:9f5acfc132], and changed small parts on things such as on the mas air flow boot thing, what else is there left to change?
although now, when[b:9f5acfc132] before [/b:9f5acfc132]it was [b:9f5acfc132]difficult to keep running, low idle , stalling[/b:9f5acfc132] out on me, [b:9f5acfc132]now[/b:9f5acfc132] it is just [b:9f5acfc132]hard to start[/b:9f5acfc132], but when it starts [i:9f5acfc132][b:9f5acfc132]generally[/b:9f5acfc132][/i:9f5acfc132] doesn't idle rough anymore, and doesn't stall. generally. its running at 60%.

During the ten second period, what happens if you try to rev the engine? Does it rev or immediately cut out?

How long does it take before the engine will restart?

i think i got two codes from my code scanner, code 538, which is insufficient rpm change, and 172, which is lack of heated oxygeb sensor (h20s-1) switches, indicates lean bank #1....what in the hell!
