Hi there,

I think your FCP solenoid is OK. Your ohmmeter is hosed or on the wrong scale.

If it truly measured zero ohms on a good meter, it would smoke the lead wire when you connnected 12V instead of obediently clicking. Try measuring something else with your ohmmeter to verify it. A good example might be the heater in your lambda sond - it is easy to reach, and the approximate cold and hot resistances are listed in the FAQ.

Good solenoids or not, I agree that spot under the car is not a nice place to spend a lot of time. I expect if I live a good life on earth there will be a nice lift I can use in the afterlife.
