Unhappy Do I have leaky injectors?

Hello. I have a 1991 NA RX-7 w/ 166K miles on it. Just over the weekend, I went away camping, and before I started up my RX7 and drove it around, it started and ran fine, but then about 48 hours later when I got back, and I tried to start it up and it just wouldnt go, and I am pretty sure that it was/is flooded.
Could this be a sign that I have leaky injectors? When I shut it down before I left it was warm... =(

Before I go tearing into the injectors, look to the less expensive stuff first... before, when my 87 TII acted up like yours did; it turned out that my plugs were fouled and my plug wires were in desparate need of replacing ( plug wires are suggested to be replaced every 30000 miles)
U might want to check these first

My fuel injector started leaking at 180M miles. You should smell gasoline and see leak on engine if injector is leaking.

Not true. If the injectors leak into the engine, you'd never smell it.
