Swap the Fuel pump relay from the donor 200 to the victim 200, see if
it starts; the fuel pump relays are infamous for dying.  You can also
have someone listen for the fuel pump itself as you try to start the
car; above 25rpm, the type 44's run the fuel pump(80/90's run it for
a second when you turn the key to "on".)

I -think- they should be compatible, but double check the PN's first :-)
