An EFI engine can flood?

AMG

Yes, rotory engines are notorious for flooding. Even the RX-8's are prone to flooding. To the OP, punctuation please, reading that made my head hurt.

Rotary engines are just a bad design from the beginning IMO. the rx8 engines flood everytime you start them and shut them off before the engine warms up. The seals on the rotors don't seal when there's any residual fuel in the cylinder. If anyone here owns one its a simple fix when you do accidentally flood your rx8.
