Where is my 86 Tbird TC's fuel pump reset switch?

It turns over, wont start and has no fuel pressure showing on a gage.

I tried to get codes, KOEO, and it shows code 0, no explanation.

Also has the oil line to the turbo disconnected.

Apparent bird flu victim.

Thanks.

So you are trying to start the engine even though there is no oil going to the turbo? That sounds like a VERY bad idea.

Reset is in the trunk, behind the inner liner.

Thanks.

Yep. The turbo is pretty much toast, I'd guess, so I'm trying to figure out what else is there that works or doesn't work.

Not really trying to run it much or drive it this way, but I need to see if the fuel system works, the computer and ignition work, etc.

Probably going to check the compression, set up the timing, and put a timing light on it to see if it has spark. Also see if I can get the fuel pump working.

I figured out it would be best to do this while it is still a complete car.

Although I'm glad it gets me stuff cheap, it amazes me how thoroughly some people can trash a car! I can't even begin to shop vac the thing, because I am sure there are a bunch of parts and screws down there.

What are the options to fix the turbo? Can one replace the bearing assembly?

Trying to tread some new ground here.

Just get another used T3...once they are well beat, you can't just replace the bushings...they are too far gone.
