I would test for this by pulling each pair of injectors out of the intake without disconnecting the hoses or wires and using a container to catch any drips, pressurize the system by turning the key a couple of times.

Drive for awhile then shut it done for less than a minute and it runs like it is flooded. On restarting I'll sit there and raise the idle to about 2000 rpms until it clears out 15-20 seconds. After that it runs perfect.
