To check the fuel cut solenoid on a 1988 Toyota Tercel, first locate the solenoid, which is typically found near the fuel rail. Disconnect the electrical connector and use a multimeter to test for continuity; the solenoid should show continuity when the ignition is on. If there’s no continuity, the solenoid may be faulty and should be replaced. Additionally, ensure that the solenoid is receiving power when the ignition is on to confirm proper operation.
