flooding front rotor,,,just ideas!

hi guys,,,i know i could search through the 3 billion threads already posted.. just give me a few pointers here.
japanese car bought with coolant ring failure.. engine stripped rebuilt all new seals (everything icluding tip seals the works)
car runs fine drives fine but has a slight missfire when running on idle but when driving the drives perfect,,,
the only other bad thing is,,,,every now and again when comming to a stand still the front rotor floods out (you know what i mean,,, car drops onto 1 rotor )
when i whip out the plugs they are soaked in fuel.,, when i dry the plugs and put the back in the engine car runs fine again,,
so basically slight misfire (which i bet is front rotor) and flooding of front rotor.

any ideas at all,,,,just any,,,,thinking maybe new plugs and ignition wires (even though the plugs are new).. maybe dodgy ignition coil,,,, any ideas just any...

My guess too would be a sticky injector.

yes if the wire grounds off it will go wide open, why /\ he mentioned it... are you getting spark on the front rotor? are you looking at the secondaries also?

I'd also make sure the o-rings around the injector are sound, and install the o-rings with a light coat of oil. A tiny rip or tear in the o-ring can result in fuel bypassing the fuel rail and going around the injector into the intake.

What plugs are you running?
