trouble starting car after non-use

I have a 1989 300te which i hadn't driven in a couple of weeks. car had trouble turning over when i went to start it today. finally got it started by using method of starting a hot engine set forth in owners manual-- mainly keeping accelerator depressed while cranking engine. drove car about 5 miles to store and car started fine when i returned. car started fine again when i went to pull it into garage a short time later. anybody have any thoughts? could it have been that the fuel in the pipeline got stale from the car sitting?
