3.9 V8 not been running for 12 months.
I was asked by the owner while on Niue Island in the Pacific on holiday if I could help Andy the honey guy get his engine running.
I wasn't expecting to find the car so pulled apart.
Tested the coil positive, no ign 12v. The two ECU relays had been replaced with the wrong 5 pin relay no twin 87 pins. So no fuel pump feed. I bridged the 87 pins. Ran a pos from the battery to the coil. Boom its running. Andy was so excited.
I messaged Adam our head Tech for the coil ign feed. He sent me the wiring diagram. Fuse 3 in the satellite block was blown. Fixed it 1.5 hrs.
No bad for an old guy 🤣
