That makes it more difficult, Redeye, I agree. It is the kind of thing people might or might not find, depending on how much they tend to focus on electrical issues. Above all though, there is the the unfortunate coincidence that the problem occurred at the same time as running out of fuel, which traditionally causes some specific knock-on problems that have nothing to do with solenoids. Maybe some of us would routinely substitute a bolt for the solenoid whenever a no-fuel problem crops up, and maybe we wouldn't. I think probably, those who have been through this particular problem might be tempted to put the bolt in and leave it, until such time as they were annoyed by the dieseling when they shut down the engine.
