still sounds like your main relay is bad. If you hit it while you try and start the car it will open per say. In other words it sounds like when you were moving things about you jarred it just enough to make it work again. It should work for awhile now but i suggest getting a new one to be safe.

i dont think its the main relay now... it happend to me again just from me moving the car in my drive way to another park spot... is there like a sensor in the trans that will cause this... i kept switching out relays and still got nothing... check the ground wires... and then i go inside and just was the wtf... and then my dad hoped in and started wiggling the shifter and it started... i tried starting it in gear several times and in neutral..
