Weird starting problem, resolved.. but what happened?

Ok, so I was coming home today and my transmission "broke" I was able to fix it roadside by taking off the front passenger side transmission cover (the one w/ ~12 12mm bolts). Anyways. I was on a main road and pushed it off to a side road, while it was running because I had to steer it for power steering. It sat for about 2 hours while I was fixing it again getting parts. When I went to start it again, it cranked over, but would NOT start, I had spark, fuel pressure, everything was right, it just wouldnt start. So, my brother pushed me down the road at a relatively good pace as I let it out in Second gear, it took about 12 seconds to start, then sputtered for a second, then was fine. It starts now, and has started 3 times (on my way home when i stopped)
I have NO clue as to why it wouldnt start. I didnt really want to try to bump start it, I didnt think it would make a difference.
The battery was strong, so it had enough power to run the fuel pump etc still.
What I want to know is, what would make it not start, just like to understand how things work/and what happens when things go wrong.
Thanks.
