Does the solenoid buzz ?

There is no check valve but it can feel that way. The little disk inside blocks the bottom outlet if you blow hard enough. Try blowing into the bottom outlet and see air comes out of "C" and "W", then try it with your finger blocking "W".
If your solenoid doesn't buzz (put your ear right on top of it) with your key in the ignition position. Then you may have a dead solenoid (electrically speaking). Check the electrical connector to the solenoid, see that all wires look OK leading to the solenoid.
Also check continuity of the electrical leads. There are three pins on the solenoid, if you have a multimeter, they should measure little resistance (about 3ohm or so between any two pins). I have a cheapo multimeter and it doesn't measure low resistance well.
