To test the purple wire going to the solenoid - dont use a multimeter, but use a headlamp if you can, if the wire can illuminate the headlamp at full brightness then it should also have enough amps to pull the solenoid. Otherwise you might need to add a hot start relay.

Good info! I didn't realize that.
Both upper and lower harnesses have been removed from the car. The only wires that I have put back are the X27 round plug and the thick wires that go to the starter and alternator, which go to the positive block beside the x27 plug (under the car, passenger footwell)
AFAIK I have connected the solenoid to the corresponding X27 lead. Am I missing something? It seems that lead doesn't have enough juice as you've pointed out.
