So I'd like to call this problem solved. I took the previous owner's word for it when he told me he replaced the ignition, antenna ring and ews relay. He may well have but did not apparently replace the ignition switch because by shorting the power on the ignition switch I've brought the car to life. Thanks to the shop down the street and their two thousand dollar autologic computer and 75 dollars a scan.
This has been a wonderful learning experience though so I am thankful for it to have happened. I'm quite quick now at removing the lower intake manifold and accessing the starter with knowledge of all the sensors and such below there.
Thanks for the input everyone!
