What is the condition of your ground connection back there by the disptick?
It isn't too far from possible that you could have affected one of the wires running to that stud while dealing with the oil filter. I usually get into more trouble with the wiring for the oil pressure sending unit, but that ground isn't far off. If those wires are like mine they are probably pretty brittle. It wouldn't take much to break one, or to break most of the strands, leaving just enough to start, but not enough to sustain things for long.
Just another thought.
