I take mine to Autozone, they offer free testing of ignition modules.
ignition module on what?
test ignition coil,ignition module,pick-up coil,electronic spark control,and knock sensor
If you are not getting spark to any of the plugs could be coil rotor and/or cap HEI ignition?
The Distributer module on "92" S-10 Vin code "W" or "Z" is located on the distributer,you must remove the distributer cap to gain access to the ignition module. Once you have gained access to the ignition rotor it is always necessary to always test the module before replacing it.
Answer testing ignition modulenot all part stores have the ability to test ignition modules,a sure sign would be discoloration of the module or if the outside of the module has a softness to it if neither is apparent you could go to advance auto stores and they do have a peice of equipment to test your module, I used to work at a advance auto parts store
Remove it and bring it to a NAPA store. They will test it free.
Take it to AutoZone, and they can test it
start the engine if it runs its good
take it off and take it to autozone they will check/test it for free
chances are if there is no spark then the ignition module inside the distributor needs to be replaced as far as checking it goes just pop the module out and autozone or advance auto may be able to tell u where to take it to have it tested
Many autopart stores have a machine to test it. The machines use a universal adapter to hook into the ignition control module. The ignition control module is in the distributor. If you mean the part that contains the ignition coil, when mine went bad I probed it with an ohmeter and then asked the parts store if I could test the resistances in a new coil before I bought it. Since the resistances of certain terminals weren't even close, I knew I had a bad coil.
Be sure to have the place that checks the Ignition Module to run the test at least seven times,this warms it up and helps check intermitant problems.
