89 240 won't start 200

The fuel injection relay seems to be in very good condition (no corrosion) and has a date of mfg of 2007

If you go by likelihood, the relay would drop off the list. It sounds like this common item has already been renewed.

I still have no power on fuse 6.

OK, you've double checked your test there. I hope I can convey my skepticism without being disrespectful: Earlier you said this was the only place you didn't see power. As Bruce mentioned, fuse 6 is powered by the battery directly from the junction box, and fuse 6 is just one of four on that panel connected solidly to each other (7,8,9). So missing power on fuse 6 and having it on 7 is a very unlikely and strange event - not that it is impossible, but my experience tells me a mistake with a meter or test light is much easier to make than most of us realize.

I unplugged what I believe is the AMM (between the air filter and the throttle body?) Good, that may have eliminated an expense you probably don't need at this point.

I did not say the plugs were wet... Right. I re-read that Still does not start, does seem to want to though, like a tiny bit of fuel reached the plugs.

Sure, it is a good idea to pull a plug and see what it looks like. If you do just after an attempt to start it, and you find it wet with fuel, that would be an important clue. You could also put the plug on the end of the wire, lay it on the cam cover and crank for a couple seconds to verify spark.

Now the fuel pressure regulator. Pull off the small hose coming from the front of it. Try to detect raw gas, using your eyes and nose. Do this just after a start attempt. Any liquid in there means you've found the culprit.
