Yes to all of this!

I really would focus on the fuses and the fuel pump relay.

A comprehensive "fuse box service" should be the start of about any troubleshooting scenario. This includes removing all fuses, cleaning the ends, cleaning the clips, retensioning the clips, and replacing all non-copper-and-ceramic fuses. The bullet style fuses are a near constant source of problems for 240 owners and the condition of a fuse or its holder cannot be assessed with the fuse installed...period (ever see a fuse with the ends completely eroded off?).

The 25 amp fuse holder has also created many a crank-and-no-start situation.

The fuel pump relay probably would have been my first suspect when I had a stall and no-start.

The last, and distant, possibility because I have not known it to cause intermittent issues, is a failed ecu. Any ecu with a colored label from that era is suspect. Jumpering the fuses to run the fuel pump is a good diagnostic (see cleanflametrap.com for the paperclip jumper).
