the engine won't run if it is completely bad. you won't have spark. if it is just starting to go bad it might run good for days or weeks but can cut out at any time and the engine will die. it might restart right away or you might get it to start after some time. if you are getting intermittant ignition problems it is a good idea to get it replaced. carry a spare with you too so you won't be stranded in the future.

How do you test a ignition module on 1992 Honda civic?
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.
