I have experienced a similar problem......let me know what you find out. I have heard that this could be multiple things....worn injection pump or low idle set on ip. Not sure what the exact problem is though.

Hate to break it to you but that usually means a sick VE going downhill and in need of a rebuild.

If you're gonna bite the bullet and if you can afford it, you may as well just buy a hot rodded pump and send yours in as a core.
