When the tow driver got here he tried to start it and after a while he got it started, it smelled like gas, there was smoke coming from the tailpipe but it ran. He drove around the block, shut it of and started it 5 more times, no check engine or service lights came on. He said it was flooded, maybe you pushed the gas pedal when you got out of the car. So, can you flood a fuel injected engine?

Pretty hard to do but you can do it. Also any leaking injectors/seals/faulty ignition/TPS sensor, etc. can wreak havoc. Good luck.
