22RE ignition coil igniter

How can an igniter be tested? Are they prone to breakage or wearing out? I am replacing the distributor and coil on my 1991 toyota pickup but am shocked to learn a new igniter is about $485.00!



Please advise me on whether it's worth it to replace or not. Also are there different igniters for the same model year? My dealer parts guy asked me for the VIN to match the parts. I am thinking of buying some from a junk yard for the future if this part is known to go bad after a while.



Thanks for any advice.

On my 93 22re I was unable to find a way to test the igniter to see if it was the cause of an intermittent misfire. I bought one at a wrecking yard, which didn't fix the problem. It turned out the ECM was causing the problem.

BTW I'll make you a good deal on a known good coil/ignititor that I didn't need.

Thanks for the perspective. I already bought a new coil and distributor housing. Hopefully it fixes my problem. Thanks for the offer but I won't be needing them.
