    power at starter but not turning

    Can you try removing the starter relay located behind passenger kick panel and jump the terminal as I did? This is just to rule out the factory alarm issue. Check above the steering column under the dash near the firewall and see if there's a little black box.

    7MGTE 1989 Won't Start

    Have you tried another igniter? I had similar problem but in my case, the car died while going 65 on the highway. I would crank but won't start. I replaced the igniter and it fired right up.

    Thermostat question

    Do you hear what sounds like a waterfall behind the dash? That happened to me when I have air in the coolant line but my temperature never reached half way. Also found an interesting article about Thermostat http://www.tuneruniversity.com/blog/2012/04/low-temp-thermostats-whats-the-advantage/
