94 maxima floods while starting

I have a 94 maxima SE and I live in New York City. I keep it in a garage and a lot of times it sits for as long as 2 weeks before I need it to go for a weekend drive. the attendants end up having to go start it to bring it to me. So I'm never around when the problem first starts.

When they go to start it sometimes it just wont start up for them and I have to go down in the bowels of the garage and check it out. The same thing has happened a couple times now and seems to be a pattern.

the engine turns over nice and fast and the battery is great. but it never tries to fire. but after turning over a few times there is a strong gas smell when you smell over the engine.

When I remove the spark plugs, they are wet with gas and the cylinders appear flooded. If I take all the plugs out and dry them, and let the cylinders dry out. I can put them all back in, and it will start right up.

Any ideas on what might be wrong? leaky fuel injector maybe? I suspect they may be pushing the gas pedal when it doesn't start right away, but I don't think that is supposed to matter for fuel injection.

are there any other ways to start a flooded Fuel Injected vehicle besides removing the spark plugs? that's quite time consuming.
