car wornt start. suprise suprise...

[sleepyeyeds14]

Yesterday morning my battery was dead so i jump started it. Then i drove a mile down the road to my buddys house. I hung out there for about 4 hours, then when i went to leave the car wouldnt start. There was no clicking as if the battery was dead. Just nothing. all the electronics shut off like it was going to start. but nothing just like if the starter was bad. so i hooked up jumper cables, and nothing changed. Then out of now where the starter started working. but the car still wouldnt start. The fuel pump turns on, and the starter "starts" the the engine doesnt turn on. I havent had time to check for spark. But im skeptical about that because it drove perfectly fine just hours before. and the distributor, cap and rotor are about 4 weeks old. I just finished a KAE to DE swap 4 weeks ago also. so the car has a 1996 KA in a 1990 hatch... Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, i checked the alternator fuse and its not that...
