Not sure about the unput circuit malfunction one but the spark output makes the ICM suspect since it controls spark output. ICM = Ignition Control Module

IDM is 'Ignition Diagnostic Monitor'.

Those two codes are related, and most certainly caused by a faulty Igniton Control Module, as Greystreak92 suggested.
