How long did you run it for?

Less than a minute. It simply occurred to me to see if it would start.

Ah - that's why it wouldn't the next time. It's also bad for the engine to
start it just for a short time. Ideally, take the car for a drive, or warm
it up fully before stopping it. Blip the throttle a few times to while
doing this - don't just let it idle.
