Quoted from CadillacMusic:it seems solenoids kick with more power during test mode.
thats because the coils are being tested indivually.they fire much harder in coil test than in gameplay
Quoted from CadillacMusic:My favorite equation! The idea was that gravity will pull it down. Something is majorly funky though, because if you put a strong spring there, the plunger doesn't have enough power to even move. I think I'm gonna try a stronger solenoid.
before you do that you might have to beef up the transistor and fuse.just putting in a stronger coil will possibly blow out the transistor that runs it.
Quoted from CadillacMusic:I've already changed the transistor.
what i meant was a transistor that can handle more power than the one the manual is calling for
Quoted from DCFAN:It also could be a bad/failing transistor.
if the coil is firing properly and is not locking on or blowing the fuse then the transistor is fine
Quoted from CadillacMusic:The coil isn't firing properly,
if it is firing in coil test then its doing its job
