Yes, pretty involved instructions.<br />From breifly looking at my Clymer repair manual, there are 4 or 5 pages of instructions, do's and don'ts.<br /><br />The final test is a resistance test, 1150-1350 ohms.<br /><br />It also states that all cdm units are the same, so they should be interchangable if you can find another motor to swap them with.

Re: ign coil test

My manual has 6 pages that outline how to teast the cdm. pretty involved, refers to a wiring test harness. <br /><br />Never had to work with these, so the best I can offer is that you pick up a copy of the Clymer manual if your manual doesn't cover it in detail.<br /><br />Perhaps get a copy from the library and copy the pages you need. cdm troubleshooting starts on page 92.
