Do you have an alarm system? Could be the fuse to the ignition cut-out circuit that is blown. Or as it was in my case, when I experienced exactly the same symptoms as you, the contacts on the fuse had corroded. I replaced the open fusebox supplied with my alarm with a closed unit.

How difficult was it to remove the starter? Looks like it would be a bit of a pain..

well i had to remove the compete air box system , alternator , and the top heater core hose that runs to the back of the water pump . the hardest part for me was getting the top bolt out of the starter , alll in all , i took about 2 hrs to get out and about 1 1/2 to get all back together .
