but its weird cuz it wasnt running.. then i put the new ebay igniter in.. and then it started first try... then when closing the hood. it shut off.. very weird....

Not weird at all if a wire has broken at a connector, but the insulation is keeping it close enough to the connector to make occasional contact.

Evey time you move it, it reconnects (poorly, of course) & everything works. One wrong vibration & it separates. Not super common, but it is known to happen.
