need help understanding the power module 700

So I thought I had the problem licked until yesterday. Before yesterday I would be cruising down the road and the car would die on me. I would pull over stop completely and put it in park and restart the thing. Reading the faq's I thought it sounded like the power module since that is the only part that had not been replaced. I replaced it and it started fine, last night after driving alot and being stuck in traffic I pulled over to starbux and after I got back in the car (10 min later) it would not start on me. I walked home (2 min away) and two hours later walked back over and the car started right up. This morning I went out to start it and it would not start. I put the old power module back in and it started right up. Is there a possibility I could have ruined the new one? I made sure the thermal creme was on and the bolts were tight. It only got in the upper 40's yesterday. I went down to swap the power converter and they pretty much went off on me. On the way home it died and I had to pull over put it in park and restart it. So in the last year pretty much everything has been touched, I did notice however that my gas milage got worse after the first time it did this. Any corralation between the two? thanks in advance
