I almost forgot to mention what the old solenoids looked like in case anyone is interested. The one on the passenger side seemed in decent shape. The driver's side solenoid (which was the side i heard the most noise coming from) was some kind of different model--maybe an earlier version of the solenoid or an off brand maybe--not really sure but it looked a whole lot different than the new one.
Also wanted to mention that earlier today when the engine stalled that the check engine light turned on (and for the first time it stayed on). After changing the solenoids the light is still on so i took it to autozone to see if they would clear it but they wouldn't. Interesting thing is that in addition to the P0022 code i spoke of they also pulled up 2 more:
P0345 - Camshaft position senor A circuit (bank 2)
p0349 - camshaft position sensor A circuit intermittent (bank 2)
Hopefully the CE light will clear in time, if not you may be hearing from me again--but i'll probably make a new post as this one is getting pretty lengthy!
