If you wish to bench test your ICM you can use the website in the previous post.
If you have a spare coil use the attached wiring diagram and install temporary wiring from the ICM to the coil input - then hook the coil up directly to a spark plug. Simulate a signal to the ICM pins (the distributor pickup coil input) a 12V battery will do. Applying the signal should fire the spark plug.
Be sure to provide a return path for the spark plug.
