Does that mean you blew off the induction tube, and everything was fine?
I did find that the GTV-6 would sometimes flood and fail to start when parked
on an uphill stretch. Holding the gas pedal on the floor and running the
starter would eventually start it up. (no explosions yet!)

Lots of good ideas; one or two of them are probably right! BTW, my GTV6
also does this sometimes, but not very often. I have played with a theory
that has to do with the fuel pressure and the possibility of vapor in the
fuel line under various conditions, but haven't bothered to think it through
much.
Meanwhile, the plenum should not blow off due to detonations, but we all
know it can happen; many theorize that's the reason for the GTV6 "tea tray."
The solution told to me long ago, which always has worked on my GTV6
(about 22 years and counting) and on the Milano (75) I had for about five
years: make sure the screws fastening the air induction tube to between the
plenum and the AFM are backed off a bit, not dead tight. This way, if
there's
a detonation, it just knocks off the tube and doesn't launch the plenum
into the hood.

I usually never touch the throttle during starting (too many stories of
plenum-go-boom) but have been told that going full throttle during cranking
puts the L-jet into "flood clear" mode where it doesn't fire the injectors.
Well, I tried that once when the engine died as described above: it did
fix
the problem, which lends credence to the wet plugs theory. But it also
went
ahead and started even with the pedal full down which may disprove the
not-firing-the-injectors theory. So I'm not sure I'd recommend this given
the
L-Jet's predilection to occasionally blowing off the plenum if given
throttle
during cranking.
