====== Vacuum Routing ======

Vacuum routing is slightly different between certain model years (and US/UK models). Most of this is US-centric information.

==== Vacuum Solenoids ====
== Fuel Pressure & Ignition ==

There are a pair of solenoids mounted under the intake plenum for fuel pressure and ignition. Lotus refers to these as part #A910E6634F.

I took some time to test and investigate these solenoids (they are identical parts, but serve two different purposes).

These solenoids are a German Pierburg part (#7.12942.00) they are not necessarily an easy part to find (right now, sourcing one is more than $50 USD each). 

I tested the solenoid to see the internal routing when energized and when not. The solenoid switches between connecting the top outlet to the bottom-side outlet when energized, or connecting the bottom center outlet to the bottom-side outlet when NOT energized (polarity doesn't matter).
