Default 2000 DX starting/stalling problems

alright guys i have a 2000 DX i just got a couple months ago.I got it with a burnt valve, and many other problems, but, i got it to pass smog.
last friday night i started the car at a friends house and it took 3 or so tries to start, thought it was just a glitch or something and thought nothing of it, drove it to another friends, then started it up when i left there and it was fine. I went to start it saturday morning and it just cranked and wouldnt start.
turns out it had no spark. I have since replaced the coil, ICM and tested the relay via the FSM page that says to power 1 & 2 on the relay and check for continuity between 4 and 5, which it passed.
I can get it to start occasionally and it will idle anywhere from 3 seconds to 10 mins then just die.
ive ruled out fuses and the timing belt because it can idle when it has spark.
i also have new cap, rotor, plugs and wires(NGK plugs and wires).
is there anything else i should check? Any help would be appreciated especially since its my daily that i cant drive. i do have my other car to drive in the mean time.

EDIT: No CEL codes either and battery reads 12v when off and 13.3 when idling

Could a bad ignition switch be the problem? Is there a signal wire from the ignition to keep the ecu on? No spark could mean no ecu?
