It has to do with the atomization of the fuel at the injector, you had a
little air going through the nozzles with the fuel. Sort of like when
you get air at the kitchen sink and it sprays water everywhere. Any
indirect injected engine does the same thing but direct injected engines
like a powerstrokedo not do this.
