If an injector fails stuck open while the engine is not turning (like during the 'leak test' mentioned above), then the cylinder could fill enough with fuel to hydrolock the next time that it gets cranked.

Since he drove it home & turned it off, then heard the noise the next time he cranked it, it could have been full of fuel before he cranked it to start.

A cylinder that flooded wouldnt fire even if the plug and coil were working perfectly.
