you dont say what engine size it is but ill take a guess & say 1.8 8v.if it is this type of engine try disconecting the battery & injection ECU for an hour before taking it for a re-test,this usualy works (provided there is no other running faults) it re-sets the paramiters of the ECU.
as for the solenoid i have no idea what they mean,are they maybe talking about the oxygen sensor ?? there is a charcoal canister electrovalve solenoid but i highly doubt it would cause the emmisions to be too high.
