car wasn't starting??

i got a 87 gxl with 92k on motor and chasis..2nd owner had since 2004, with 52k miles..bought it from a 60 yr old lady or older that bought it brand new with like 4 miles on the motor in early 87..well i always took care of it..never had any major problems, about 1 yr ago replaced master cylinder,all belts..recentley i lost my job so for 5 days i didnt drive it..with one day of trying to start it, and it would not start..thought it was battery, well today friday the 5th day of it not running finally got it started it took like 5 minutes of trying..before this never had any motor issue..so every hour i've been starting it and it starts fine..hopefully tommorow it will start with no problem..do you's think its the compression? i know im gonna have to do a test anyway, but do you think 4 days without the motor runnning my compression is going??
