I know this is a really old message, but the reply may help someone.

This fault could well be rotten and leaking injector bleed-off pipes, especially if the symptoms are accompanied by the smell of diesel. These pipes take excess fuel away from the injectors - when they start to leak, they allow air into the injection system. The best thing is to replace the whole lot in one go - if you have one leak, others are sure to follow!
