yes, but the 'solenoid' is a round relay ........with a moving center core ...... that does a mechanical job also .........pulling the drive gear into engagement ..... and yes, it is a 'relay' as far as the starter motor contacts are concerned. personally .......I like to ask the poster why are they asking ...... like what actual problem or symptom are they trying to fix ..........? maybe it's a trick question, and the answer is : "The starter relay for an 86 Syncro is on the shelf at the parts supplier, " ..............unless someone already installed one somewhere on the van, and it's not like there's all kinds of room right by the starter on a syncro to put the relay anyway. maybe he has a weak ignition switch - fairly common as most everyone knows.
