Heres a mind boggler....

ok so i got home from school today and i pull in my drive and turn the car off, walk inside for about 3 mins and walk back out to start woking on the camaro, i went to turn it over and:.....nothing, there was power, but no turning over, so i get mad and go get my battery tester....battery is fine...im stitting there thinking "what the hell could be wrong!?!?!" Then being frustrated, i for some unknown reason, realease the pressure from my radiator through the cap, the resivior fills back up.... and again...for no reason i go to try and start it again then " Violla! It fired right up!.......anyone know why that happened? did my release of pressure fix it? and why!@?!?!

No. Not unless you believe in demonic possession.
It sounds like the dreaded "VATS problem" to me (vehicle anti-theft system) or the starter. Do a search on it.
