What's the code? I assume the car starts?

Did you pull the ECU fuse when you performed the test?

You just remove it from the distributor and test it with a multimeter. If the reading is not within a certain range (I forget what the range is), then it has to be replaced. You can find instructions on this site, in a Hayne's manual, and most likely in the Helm's manual.
