When my ignition module was going bad it would start and run on one cylinder for a few seconds and then the other cylinder would cut in and run as it should. I was able to pull the plug wire and that confirmed that the cylinder was not firing.
You can change the module without removing the engine but I found it much easier to unbolt the engine and slide it ahead a couple inches and then you can get both your hand and your head in.
