Every once in a while my car won't get any spark, all I would hear is one click but my accessories would still work.. usually I have to jump start it so I figured my battery was dead. But today I let the car sit for like 20 min after it "ded" and it started up with no problem!:confused:
 
I'm going to take a guess and say that the terminal that goes to your starter solenoid is corroded. Pull the wire and check both ends (starter solenoid side/wire side) and look for rust/corrosion. I had this happen on my 3g with the same problem as you. Took 3 days to diagnose.
