Congrats on your growing family - a 240 is the ideal transport 200

Things have a way of piling up to hit you all at once. If you are taking your wife to a professional for delivery and depending on that 89 to get you there, you and she might be better served if you found an auto repair professional that inspires confidence. A true professional would not guess at parts like a fuel pump if there's no trouble getting the trouble to show itself. He could be wrong about expecting the fuel pump to come on with the key turn-- that behavior depends on model, year and even firmware revision, as well as time since last run.

But it sounds like you've already done the deal. If there is truly good consistent spark but no pumps running, the fuel injection relay is #1 suspect for intermittent running. The 25A fuse on the fender may look fine, but its holder and wiring are in the weather. Make sure your friend checks these things before ordering fuel pumps or ECUs.
