Is there any way to check/measure if the ignition module in distributor is bad?

Yeah, I'm sure there's an AutoZone on just about every corner in Stockholm.

One way to test the module is to connect power and a load resistor to the power and coil terminals respectively, then trigger the module by exciting the input with a jumper. You should read the voltage at the coil terminals (load resistor) briefly when the input is excited.

I currently don't have the documentation available, but when I return to my home office I'll get more specific details if you're interested.

My bad, I didn't see the "from" block. Sorry. Reading is a fundamental...
