hmmm

not engaging at all?

which engine is it?

so it basically working like a non-mivec engine?

did you try revving higher to see if if is engaging at a higher rpm?

remove the solenoid and checking to see if it is working with a multimeter and if so then service and reinstall
also check and see if it is getting current
