As previously noted the main relay and the crank position sensor are the 2 most common actors in this scenario. The relay can usually be fixed by popping off the cover and resoldering the connections, they crack over time. The crank position sensor is an easy swap, be careful of the bolt holding the unit to the bracket. The bracket can break, make it snug, not gorilla tight. On a 230 can't hurt to disconnect the battery and clean the fuse box with a brass bristle brush. Good luck.
