Could be a leakey injector or even a dirty injector. I would see if there is an exsessive fuel pressure loss at engine shut down which would indicate that the injestor/s are leaking.

Run some Techron through that baby. Shell Gas will make your gauge not work correctly. 2 Bottle of Techron will do just fine. IMHO
