Good shot Phil.

If one of my kids came to me with this story, I would do as you suggest.

1) Clean up the under-hood 25A blade fuse, holder, and wiring.

2) Replace the fuel injection relay.

3) Check the operation of the in-tank pump.

4) Renew the plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap, and rotor (tune up).

There are more things that might help, but this is a baseline start.

BTW, some trivia: Fuse 6 is not needed in this car. You can use it as a spare. And I believe the FI relay has nothing to do with ignition.
