I need to test the ignitor (Ignition Control Module) on my 1996 Geo Metro 1.0L.  
  
 So far, I’ve found information on testing the circuit with the module disconnected, but not the module itself.

Ask first to see if Auto Zone can test it.  
Many brands can be tested there. You take it off the car and take it in.
