First, don't put all your eggs in one basket. By no means do I rely on just a ohm reading. Relying on OEM trouble charts early on This was one of my pet peeves. Ohm this ohm that ohm till ell freezes over. If all fails replace the ECM/part. If they would have just told us what the voltage should be life would have been good. That info was out there it just was not available to a independent in OEM form.
I did not throw my ohm meter away : ) It still comes in handy for a quick check. OK time to kill wire the solenoid up let it get warm and check the ohms. For the poor boys and giggles.
Lets use that useless ohm meter to check you new solenoid, For the poor boys and giggles.
With so much high tech equipment on hand I can tell ya a simple ohm check on a new/rebuilt part would have saved me countless lost of billable hours.

My shop ice maker quit years ago a simple ohm check of the water valve is all I needed to confirm the solenoid was bad/good.
I put a rebuilt engine in a 94 Toyota truck as always I put a set of rebuilt injectors on it. It was a dud no power it ran great just low on power. Long story short If I had only ohm the new injectors while I had them in my hand.
Don't throw away they ohm meter yet : )

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
