Yes it can! A fuel injector is just an electic valve. The valve can can stick open and let too much fuel into the manifold. It can have excessive wear and leak even with the engine off. It is controlled by an electric signal from the computer and if the signal is wrong, it can send too much fuel into the engine. However, when you start the engine, if there is nothing wrong, pressing down on the gas pedal wont do anything to change the starting of the vehicle! Unlike the carburated engines, an injected engine wont need to have the choke set by pressing down on the pedal which also sprays fuel with the accelleration pump. So you can flood a carburated engine in a different manner than an injected engine.

What would cause a fuel injected car to flood when trying to start The spark plugs are wet with fuel?

You cant flood a fuel injected vehicle. It would be something else making it not start. It could be a bad fuel pump or spark plugs. Anything to do with the ignition. Distributorless pack, where all the wires plug into. Also hard starting problems are sometimes the result of an improper starting technique on the part of the driver. On a fuel injected engine, DO NOT push or pump the gas pedal when trying to start the engine. This just puts the engine into the Clear Flood mode, which will cut off fuel to the engine temporarily making it even harder to start. Just crank the engine without touching the gas pedal.
