if you have been having intermittent power-accessory or dash light failure, and/or the car won't stay started (no idle), then yes, it can be your ignition switch module. when car won't idle, try turning and holding the key halfway between Start and On; if it then idles normally, it is definitely your ignition switch module. easy to replace.
the ignition module is located in the distributor
Inside the distributor cap under the rotor
The 1997 Honda Civic cruise control module can be found on the firewall in the engine compartment. The cruise control module will be on the drivers side of the firewall.
Take it to AutoZone, and they can test it
The Ignition Control Module on the 4 cyl models is located under the Distributor cap.
Inside the distributor at the bottom right hand side of it. Take the cap off and you will see it connected to 4 wires.
From what I can find out it seems to be located inside the distributor. You must remove the distributor cap to see it. For pictures check the link.
Likely Culprits: Bad Coil. Bad Ignition Control Module. Great Resources:
Where is the elctrical part behind the igtion at on my 1992 honda accord
There could be several things to cause no spark, but one I have ran into is the Ignition Control Module inside the distributor or the coil inside is bad. If your plug wires are good and your wiring to the distributor checks out, then it's either the coil or the ignition control module. Both are inside the distributor.
Check Gas pump and relays
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.
