02 CL500 Wont start, 3 days later no probs

I parked my 02 CL500 at a local bar here in LA last Wednesday. When I went to leave the car would not start, the engine would turn over but sounded like it was getting no gas, not even a stutter. I left the car there for 3 days until I had time to get it towed to dealership but when I tried to start it then it started fine with no hesitation. I had a friend follow me home incase it died but drove like a dream, I even floored the sucker and it drove as normal. The only thing was the "Check Engine" light was on but turned off soon as I got home.

Now I have no way of diagnosing the problem as there seems to be none now. Any sugestions on what may have caused this?

The gas filler cap was on tight and had half tank of fuel.

Thanks
Alex Greggs
