200 runs now

[apowell@ezlink.com]

Thanks for the responses to my "200 won't start" post.

To re-cap - it failed to start about 5 min. after I had moved it across 
a parking lot.  There was spark to the coil and plugs.  

I came back the next day and stuck a 10-amp fuse across the 
contacts of the fuel pump relay in the underhood box.  The car 
started right away!  After I let it run to charge up the battery I tried 
re-starting w/o the fuse and it started, but I didn't trust the relay.  The 
local dealer had one for $36 and it's now installed.  I have a spare 
used fuel pump relay and a functional car.

It's like I told my daughters as we waited fo a ride home - cars need 
three things to start: air, fuel and spark.  If you have spark and the 
intake's not plugged, you know where the problem must be.....

Thanks again for the help and support, folks.
