Default 97 ex coupe.....car dies while driving

Ok my gf was driving my coupe when all of a sudden my car dies. There are no check engine lights, first instict was coil or module, I swapped them both out with new ones and car started up. Some people at work said it might me the crank position sensor, but I have no cel?

More details about the problem:
I grabbed a spare b16 distributor that I had lying around, Drove the car and it dies. Put a new coil and it starts right up.
Start driving and it dies again, this time new module. I got it to work and at this point it seems fine, but I won't know until I start to drive it home.
