Well she died. My 87 240 with 175K on it will not start up. She was fine yesterday but today she wouldn't turn over. As usual the first thing I checked was the fuse by the firewall by the battery and replaced it. This will usually do the trick. If I crank it for a while and let go it sounds like it is going to go but barely, not much there. I have been waiting for the fuel pump to die now for a while. I believe it is the origional and at 175K it is probably dead. First question is there anything else I should consider? I checked fuses and such with all checking out okay. Second question assuming it is the fuel pump how much am I looking at for parts and to have it installed? I believe I read about a diagnostics test to check to see if the pump is bad, is there such a test? Thanks in advance for the help. It is my only transportation and I need her on the road asap for work. This is the first time she has let me down in the year and a half I have had her, and I still lover her anyway. :)
