Still not starting saw another post about a 2l 89 tranny regarding the van not starting.
So I will try looking for the orange and purple wire to see if I can get her running

Will start conversion to camper as soon as she runs and is MOTed

As for non starting, the ECU's were a pain in the ass on those early 2.9 efi engines, again one from a granada will fit, and give you a small power increase as they were mapped slightly different.

I'm sure I said that weeks ago
