There is a device low in the valley of the engine called an Injector Pressure Regulator (IPR). There is a tin nut that holds a coil in place, that coil is an electro-magnet that controls the drive pressure to operate the injectors. If the pressure is unstable, you could get enough intermittent fuel to smoke, but not enough to start. This is just a theory.
While traversing the tundra, the tin nut can work its way loose. Look at the IPR and make sure there is a nut threaded securely on the end. If it's missing, it's in the valley of the engine.

Good call. Since you neighbor Seattle (somewhat), are you watching the game?

That's kind of our friends in the North to offer support. 
I think I want to keep my optimism in check, though. I saw what Seattle did to the 49'ers in the second half of the championship game, and I don't want to invite the receiving end of that little gift.
