If your PGM has died, you can usually tell by taking the top off and having a look and smell inside. If there is no obvious burning or exploded components, give it a good sniff to see if you can smell that something in there has overheated. If it looks / smells fine, then I'd suspect it was ok and you have another problem, like a pickup issue perhaps, or a bad line to your spark plug coils.
