Just a guess, but have you checked your rail pressure relief valve? I wouldn't be surprised if it were leaking. This sounds like the same symptoms I had on my '05.

You've got a Smarty, check for codes, maybe that will shed a little light.

It's on top of the rail. There will be a line with a banjo fitting, underneath that!!

You probably won't see any leaks as it returns fuel directly to the tank if I recall correctly. If you have a rail pressure gauge you will know, or if you cap it and the symptoms go away you will also know.
