Ignition Control Module: Testing and Inspection

1. Check the engine control module (ECM). Verify inputs and outputs are correct.
- Refer to ECM pin test.

2. Check the condition of the connector, distributor, ignition coil, and high-tension leads.
3. If all are normal but misfire still occurs, replace the distributor.

NOTE: The ignition control module is an integral component of the distributor and is not serviced separately.
