the response so far are spot on. As I recall, my 240 no-starts over the years have been. Most recent listed first:

25A fuse holder. The fuse was fine but the holder was providing intermittent contact. I strongly strongly recommend you pick up a waterproof inline blade fuse holder and replace it as Dan mentioned.

Wet / dirty distrib cap. I parked facing into a headwind, it then started to snow and the cap got wet. Cap and rotor is so cheap for this car there is no reason not to do it every other year.

Fuel system relay - as discussed ad nauseam on this board the solder joints crack etc, etc... re-flow solder or replace; Stribel brand is recommended

The Rube Goldberg fuse panel. Remove, clean fuses and terminals, replace any suspect fuses.

Note that not one of these repairs costs over $45.

what about spark plugs?
