Larry, You are correct with the assumptions.

I start the engine and it runs fine. 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. >> Checked coil- good >> Smoked the new fuel injectors, left side moved very faint smoke, right side was >> perfect. Found no other apparent leaks. >> Any thoughts? >> .
