May well be unrelated. Check the chip hasn't fallen out of your key. is the key ring reader still secured around the ign barrell in the colomb ? May well be worth getting a fault code read. Possible crank sensor failure. Very common on the V6 & won't always show up as a fault code.

You say you checked spark and fuel, was there any. If there were both then the sensor must be working. As you only moved the car ashort distance an then stopped it you may have fooled the fueling system and the car is flooded. Use some quick start to fire it up or pull the plugs and take a look how wet they are. Regards Peter
