Your '89 doesn't have an impulse sender on the distributor, so that's not a worry. But you do have the 25 amp fuse, fuse holder, and wiring in the coil/battery area. Those items are known suspects the older they are.

The Fuel (Injection) relay is also a known suspect. It's actually 2 relays in one case. The Fuel part is usually the culprit, and can be bypassed for testing by connecting a jumper wire between the Left side contacts of fuses 4 and 6.

This jumper also bypasses the 25 amp fuse, so it often can get a stalled car running. With secure alligator clip ends on the jumper wire you might even drive it like that (people have done it with a paper clip).

The RPM sender (aka crank position sender) is only $30 at FCP Groton, and is long overdue for replacement if it's the original.
