You may be out of luck with this check. I have a 93 with a non-turbo 1.6 and due to a non-start senario I knew the ign. module was the culprit. Being a master Ford/GM tech. and former automotive parts sales man at a local NAPA store, I took the unit out and took to every parts store around as well as a ford dealer. No one has a way to check this module to see if it is bad. Being that the car was made in Australia the local Ford dealers never botherd catering to soulving any of it's primary problems. If you suspect the module is the problem due to a no-start...the module is not cheap and trial and error may be the only course of action...good luck.
my son had the same problem & he could not find a module we replaced the whole distributor & it started but the dist. cost him over 300 dollars.

Need to know the firing order for a 1989 Olds 88 and the corresponding numbers on the ignition coil pack
My '91 Capri had the same problem. It turned out to be a problem with something I had never heard of before. It's called a stator. I believe it is located in or near the distributor, and replacement fixed my problem.
It operates only when the engine is turned over due to vacuum/suction from the engine .....If not working properly, there will be no electrical charge to the injectors.
