Question re: '92 Accord Ignition Control Module
 

Hi To All:

My wife's '92 Accord LX died today as she was coasting to a stop,
fortunately at a slow speed on a neighborhood street. It seemed like
the battery at first, but a jump did no good and a subsequent check of
the voltage showed that this was OK. Only after the car sat for awhile
was I finally able to start it again, otherwise it would just turn
over. I got up to 20 mph and then the vehicle suddenly went dead. This
was a bit scary. My first thought (based on reading this board) was
the igniter, but Canadian Tire called and said that the "ignition
control module" was bad. Question: are these just the same part? Also,
what is the funciton of a related part called a "pickup"? Thanks in
advance for any help. - Paul D.
