I'm guessing a bad connection. Another option that you don't want to hear 
though is that it could have been a coindicence. I bet you didn't try to 
start it directly before working on it today, right?

gear with the parking brake set firmly and don't let the t-belt tension off 
until after you break the cam bolt loose.
