Default Starting problem, a 6 month frustration

Let me break everything down for you. Id appreciate any input or advice.

I have a EJ25 swapped 98 Impreza RS.

The car has trouble starting at random times. Sometimes when I turn the key the car will start up but then die immediatly, it will do that a few times and then eventually wont crank over. If I let the car sit for 10 - 30 minutes and go back to the car it will fire right up 50% of the time. like nothing is wrong.
Battery, alternator, and starter are all getting correct voltage

Here is what I have replaced
Alternator
Battery
Possitive and negative batter cables
Starter
Fuel pump
fuel filter
spark plugs

Now when the car is running, it runs great. Absolutely no issues at all.
so knowing that it runs fine, I ruled out fuel or spark being the issue.

I was thinking it was an electrical issue do to the fact the car seems to re correct itself and start after a few minutes but was also thinking it may be an issue with the ignition starter switch and that it just wont make the connection to start at some times but will at others. But that could be completely bogus

If you have any questions or advice please post it and we'll talk about it.
