My 200tq won't start. I got in yesterday morning and started the
car. It
idled rough and high (over 1500 RPM) for a few seconds. Then it
idled lower, and lower, and lower. Then it quit. Further attempts
to start it
went unfulfilled.
This morning, we went through the same sequence of events. If
this is
something I can do myself, I'd like to try. What do I check
first? Fuel
pump? Filter? Something else?

Yes. The underside of the turbo-to-throttle body hose (a.k.a.
Accordion or Michelin Man). On your CIS car if if you lose vacuum
you lose fuel supply.
