Solenoid Qraudal-drivers--> Egr , canister, airselect, diverter.

Yeah hey board, this is my first post, I own a 1985 Pontiac Trans Am. Tuned port injected. Well the last few months have been exciting but yet depressing, only because Im stumped.

I was testing the solenoids for the Egr vacuum, purge canister, and the Airselect valve assembly. I had the beeping setting on the ohm meter(to test for contunality) and I got a beep on all four. I checked out the wiring diagrams and all those solenoids are in parallal and also in junction with a fuse.
-Heres the question...should I worry abouts that? it trouble I think. I tell you why. I had spent the last o' 8 months off and on working on that car, trying to figure whats wrongs with her. a long list later I found that the Egr solenoid was fried, so what I did was disconnected it, and plug the vacuum lines. It ran perfect. I was so excited that i had pinpointed the problem and that all i had to do was replace the solenoid. Well I dont was it was but it took a crap on me that night, what I had Believed I had done was of set the voltage the the other three solenoids. I was reading up in the manual (haynes) that the all depend on each other if there one sour brownie, then its no cake. Sadly enough Im stumped. So those restance values, yep read 1. I know i know. but the beep setting too, reveled the beeping through each of the solenoids themselves.
(off the topic)
I have to mention, this site rocks, all third gen fan unite and discovery the possiblity of best hobby in ones life. Gotta love it.
