Not trying to hear it or anything just trying to figure out if it is engaging, any tips on figuring it out before I switch it out.

+1 with it unpluged you should feel it fall off over 5200. you could also install a vtec light which would tell you when it is turning on however, this will not tell you if the solenoid itself is working
