how do you when its time to replace the ignition module?

my car died the other night while driving. up until then ive noticed no problems with starting and driving. i read some posts in the archives, and without a ohm meter or any diagnostic materials i just decided to replace the coil. it started right up, then after a short rev to get the voltage up a little the car died and i couldnt get her started back up.

so now that ive replaced the ignition coil, is the module the next thing to replace? how hard of a swap is this?

thanks

daniel
