Diagnosis Update:
Engine wouldn't start again. Definitely a weird intermittent problem.
I checked for fuel and spark - not sure if I did it correctly, but it seems I'm not getting fuel nor spark. For spark I pulled a plug wire out, attached a spark plug, and looked for a spark while cranking. Nothing. For fuel, I removed the fuel feed line in the engine bay and cranked - no fuel coming out from the pump.
Since I have neither fuel nor spark, I'm going to check the crank position sensor. I wouldn't be surprised if it got damaged when I was messing with the pulleys/belts for the water pump since it's in that area. Also, an important note: I accidentally severed the wire for the cam position sensor when I did the water pump and repaired it by soldering. It seemed to be fine since the car ran, but I thought it was worth a mention. Regardless, my understanding is that the cam position sensor won't cause a no start.
Not really confident that I truly don't have spark.
EDIT: Crankshaft position sensor is in spec measured from the harness connector. (553 ohms)
