Hello,

The ignition coil can be checked by using a multimeter and getting the internal resistance.

Here is a helpful video:

The best to test the module is to remove it and take it to your local auto parts store. They will have special testing equipment that can be used to test the functionality of the ignition control module.

I have attached the replacement instructions below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
