    The problem is usually in the ig module. But, since it's a pain to work at the back of the engine, people usually pull it out and change the module and the pick-up coil at the same time. Make sure there's hot supply before you pull the distributor out (it's the thick wire that connects upward along the side of the distributor cap.)
