I would first suspect a faulty connection, else perhaps the ignition 
switch.  The dubious connection may have been at the switch or at the 
solenoid (small wire, possibly White/Red).  If it recurs and refuses to 
work you can hot-wire that white/red connection on the solenoid to get 
it to crank.

Disclaimer -- comments are based on 4-cyl TR experience though I think 
these bits work pretty much the same on a 6
