89 240 parts for an 87 240 200

They always are. Always. Nothing is known to take them out aside from a tech's mistake. But the fuseholder and its wiring is rife with trouble, causing more problems than its $2 value would ever suggest. You can't just check the voltage at the relay pin 30 and verify it, you have to do it in operation, under load so to speak. Not every electrical problem is solved by parts swapping. There are a lot of grungy connections to blame instead.

Don't worry about checking the timing, unless you have a light and it is handy - that is an excellent way to know spark is at least being produced. The lack of any codes at your fuel ECU is the first mystery you want to solve. Solve that and you're most likely home.

The reason I say the "radio suppression relay" is a red herring is that no 240 was ever equipped with one. If you find it doesn't have any spark either, BC's suggestion about the CPS should be checked out.

I often wonder how many 240's were towed to their final resting place for only the lack of a good fuseholder under the hood.
