Swap it out with a known good one?

Seems to not be an easy answer for this one.

I recall somebody here on the forum had one they found on CL or Ebay.

    That was an interesting video, I never knew there was a tester out there. Learn something new everyday on this forum.

I have electronic ignition harnesses out of junk yards. The circuit is very simple. You can hook up everything on the bench to test spare ECUs, coils, distributors and ballast resistors.
