Default How to check solenoids

Does any one know how to verify of the solenoids are good or bad? Is there a way to check this instead of just replacing them?

Does any one know of a way of testing these components aside from just replacing them?

Apply vacuum on the vacuum side of the solinoid , it should hold. Then connect a ground to one side of the electrical connector , power to the other side of the connector , it should click & vacuum should go to zero.
If that happens they should be good.

I will try that to verify that they are both good and not causing the issue.
