That's called dieseling. It can be caused by improper timing and/or incorrect heat range spark plugs. First thing I'd check is your timing

Idle could be set to high also.

Try running a grade higher in fuel if you don't already run premium.

Your idle is too high. My car did that then we lowered the idle. Now it doesn't do it.
