94 Camry weird start

Once and only once, my Camry had a LOT of trouble starting.  It took several
tries and a lot of pumping (which I NEVER have to do).  The only thing I can
figure is that it happened because I didn’t use it for 4 days.  It is used
almost every day and has 75,000 miles.  Other than that, the car runs
flawlessly.

Any ideas?

    Did the "pumping" really do any good? I didn’t think pedal pumping had
    any effect on a FI engine (as it does on some carb engines – i.e. ones
    with accel pumps).

    Perhaps your throttle position sensor (or connections) was bad?

    I was willing to try anything at the time.  It started to kick over once I
    started pumping.  I had visions of my (now sold) 1987 Corolla FX which was
    extremely hard starting.
