Mike, To check to see if the Vacuum solenoid is working ok, Put your hand or
fingers on it while your reving up the engine a little and you will feel and
may hear the clicking inside it. If you do then the solenoid is opening and
closing as you engage and dis engage the idle speed micro switch. Very
seldom do they go out. I have never replaced one.

I hear people talk about the spark advance solenoid located by the
distributor...Looks like alittle flying saucer :-) Is there a way to check
to
see if it is bad? mine has the vaccum lines on it and the electrical plug
but
just wondered the failure rate and symptoms? This does not seem to be a part
you would normally replace on a tune-up.
