That's a neat little story, and here's a neat little conjecture ...

Maybe your motor was sad because you recently focused your efforts on the outside of the car with that GTC front (which, no offense, looks like a snow plow without skirts, etc.). So when you popped the hood, your engine got happy again because you actually paid it some attention.

Have you checked your battery? Also, changing the plugs is a great idea. Good luck.

THe thing is the starter cranked the motor over, so i figure teh battery was fine, there were no engine codes when i checked this morning, i dont know if this has anything to do with it, but i noticed some smoke coming from my rear turbo this morning, hmmm, maybe that would explain low boost on my secondary

Any fuel pressure the first time it didn't start? Did you smell fuel? Flooding? Maybe your pump is going.

This is problem my "ahem" Nissan Sentra likes to do.
