Default Running RX8 in cold weather

I recently had my car serviced for "super flooding" the engine. I was told when buying the car, about 2 months ago, the importance of letting the car run before you shut it off.

I have another vehicle I drive mostly to keep miles off the RX8. The only thing I can think of that would have caused my car to flood is not starting it for a week during cold weather.

Can NOT starting the car cause it to flood????
