Dieseling in a non-Diesel

Starting a about a month and a half ago my KH/CIS powered 4ktq has 
started to let out little backfires some times after I shut it down.  
The first few weeks I thought it was a clunk in the drive train since it 
almost always corresponded withe me letting out the clutch - meaning it 
was almost 2 seconds after the engine shut down.

Most of the time it has been very faint.  So much so that I thought 
maybe it was a normal occurance that I could only hear due to my 3" 
exhaust.  It does not do it all the time, but I would say at least half 
the time.

About a week ago it went a step further.  It dieseled after I shut it 
down.  I have never had a CIS car do this.

Do these problems sound like leaky injectors?  Or is there something 
else going on?

Thanks in advance for the insight.
