cranking,no fuel to engine
Welcome aboard.
Doug is right, as always.
Think of the 3.4 NZ car as a Series 2 carby car. Almost the same.
Wiring etc will be sooooo close it should not cause that much grief, especially with the knowledge of the other "class" stuff you mess with.
Somewhere, HAHAHAHA, in my shed is a 3.4 book. I will find it as soon as I can and repost whatever I think is relevant.
The S2 had an oil switch (worked in reverse) that controlled the "earth" of the fuel pump relay. Sooooo, no oil pressure = NO pumps, but since the carbies were full of fuel, the engine started, and the oil pressure appeared, the relay switched ON, and the pumps whirred, and the whole thing just did what it did, SIMPLE.
Look down near the oil filter housing, and rearward of it, screwed diect into the engine block oil gallery MAY be one or two oil switches. Some engines have the second up almost under the power steer pump mounting bracket, so LOOK AROUND. Now, one of these is the idiot light, the other is the fuel pump relay switch. There will also be a HUGE looking oil switch, usually screwed direct into the oil filter alloy housing topside, that is for the gauge, DO NOT mess with that, it is big $$. Once you find the correct switch, remove the wire, earth it out, try again.
Fun wil be had.
Crazy???, of course you are, as am I.
