240 Random Stall 200

Hi, My 89 240 Wagon automatic has been stalling. Few times within minute or 5 of starting. It started back up again. One time it didn't start until towed to garage, then it started. The engine was turning over, just not starting.
My mechanic, who I am new customer to, said they would change the fuel pump relay, the injection relay, and the crank sensor. I don't want to spend the $300 to guess and try right away.

I've read as many of the notes as I can.
Seems that the ECU is a main suspect. Mine is a 951 series, not 561 noted as prone to problems.

For now I am going to change the fuel pump relay since it's only about $30.
What do you think about the ECU as a possibility? I've seen them on e-bay. Any recommendations on buying them there?

Any thing else I should look for? Thanks for your help in what seems to be a common problem.
