On the basis of the information above Mark the only thing we could suggest is first of all to query the ECU with the black plugs under the dash to determine what fault codes are stored, assuming you have a classic of course.

Beyond that you need to tell us what (and what year) car you're talking about, whether it was fine when you switched it off the last time you drove it, whether you can now start it on the starter, so-on. The more information you give us the easier it should be to try and make some sense of.

It's running fine now you say? If so that's the main priority dealt with. Anyway, connect the black plugs and see what code(s) the CEL chucks out. Will narrow things down a lot.
