i dont think its the solenoid. the solenoid only has 2 terminals, always hot, and starter/crank. there is no wire that will give any type aof voltage to the starter at ACC. Try this, check the wires at the starter, there should be one purple wire, disconnect it from the starter terminal and see if it has power when the key is at the ACC position. if it does, go under the steering column and try to isolate/disconnect just the purple wire from the conenctor, chekc the spot where it was coming from the column and see if you get power at ACC and/or run. if you only get power there at run, then you should probably start doing continuity tests between the purple wire at the fose box(on engine side of firewall) and see if it is shorting out somewhere. One solution(if you prove the switch is fine), it to run a 12-14 gauge wire from the terminal on the column(cut the purple wire) and run it directly to the starter itself, to where the purple wire went(and obvioulsy disconnect the purple wire) that way it will bypass any problems along the purple wire, but id recommend you find the real cause and fix that, so its done the right way. I do alot of wiring and if you need any further advice or trouble shooting once you make some progress, just let me know.
