ditchman Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 just replaced fuel cut off solenoid as the other one was needing a tap to engage it.....works fine now but the only problem is the enjine wont stop when you turn off the key, can only stop it if you pull the wire off the solenoid cut off valve any thoughts !!!!! ditchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handy4454 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 If you have a multimeter set it to DC volts and connect it between the stop solenoid wire which is usually white or white with black stripe and a good earth such as the engine block,with the ignition switched on you should read 12 volts and with the ignition off should be zero,if you don't have a meter use a 12v bulb,with the ignition on and connected between the solenoid feed wire and earth the bulb should light,with the switch off the bulb should also be off. Possible causes of a feed to the solenoid when the switch is off are a faulty ignition switch or an ignition wire has chafed against a positive feed terminal,if this has happened though you would expect other switch fed items like the charge warning light to stay on when the key is off, atb handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
