I'm not as much of a guru as some of the guys on this board when it comes to fuel injection problems, but my first guess at your problem would be leaky injectors. This would cause it to run way too rich, and they would leakdown overnight, which would fill those cylinders with gas. If this ends up being your problem, you need to either replace the bad injectors with new ones, or have all your injectors cleaned by a professional. One thing you can try before having to tear anything down is running a couple of bottles of injector cleaner through your system, maybe even put two bottles in at once to strengthen up the cleaning action. I had dirty injectors on my TBI car once, and the bottled injector cleaner cured it. Tuned port injectors seem to clog easier, but it's worth a try before having to tear down your injection system.
