There can be many things you would want to move, from doorlock to IdleControl. Please stick anything about actuators and servos (availability, links, wisdom..).
Solenoids
information here.
For example:
-variable intake control solenoid:(VICS)
The valve turns on at a given RPM.There are 2 kind of systems.The valve control solenoid output signal shuld be low below that RPM and high after that RPM, the other method is the opposite of it. The RPM , and the method should be configured via the menu system.The output should be controlled via a FET.
-fuel evaporate system control solenoid:
This system is used almost every injection controlled car nowadays.This is a picture about this system from a service manual of a mazda.
