Ignition question

[flaatr at yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

IIRC the ignition will make one single spark when powered up... that is if 
you unplug the wire from the coil and turn the key on you should get a 
single Zap! This is one way to see if the ICM is at least working... Second 
you can manually trigger the ICM by unplugging the harness from the Hall 
sender and triggering the ICM manually... one trigger should equal one 
spark. If these tests pass check the hall sender but if not then you may 
have a bad ICM.
