TESTING

Solenoid Valve (1982–84 Only)
  1. Remove the valve from the engine. Using an ohmmeter, test the resistance between the electrical terminals. It must be 32.7–39.9 ohms. If not, replace it.
  2. If resistance is o.k., check the resistance between each terminal and the solenoid body. It must be 1,000 ohms. or more in both places, or the valve should be replaced.
  3. Apply 12 volts between the plus and minus terminals (positive battery terminal to positive solenoid terminal). When current is on, you should be able to blow through the solenoid from A to B. When it is off, it must seal off tight from A to B and open from B to C. Otherwise, replace the solenoid.
