Take an extra spark plug with you so that when it dies you can check for spark. At least that would help narrow it down to ignition or fuel. Now in some of them, if you loose ignition pulse it will also disable the fuel pump (safety feature), fooling you into thinking it's fuel pump or fuel relay problem.

I'm almost sure your model has the hall effect sensor in the distributer, and at 200,000 miles .... ??? I know, it's barely broke in. Why should it die at such an early age?
