Some of the solenoids can be tested as follows:
Remove the solenoid. Try to blow air thru it. With most, you should not be able to do this. Connect one end of the solenoid electrical connection to your battery positive terminal. Connect the other to ground. Now you should be able to blow thru it.
Be carefull that you do not shock yourself, or touch the positive wire to the ground wire.
