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.

Can a bad ignition control module cause pinging?

Yes, a faulty ignition control module can contribute to pinging in an engine. Pinging, or pre-ignition, occurs when the air-fuel mixture ignites prematurely in the combustion chamber. If the ignition control module is not providing the correct timing for spark delivery, it can lead to improper combustion and increased engine knock, resulting in pinging. It’s important to diagnose and address any ignition system issues to maintain optimal engine performance.


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.
