The idle will change at 3 minutes and 14 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>The truck idles normally and quietly.  The idle will increase slightly and the engine sounds like it has a load on it, like having a PTO installed and engaging it (the truck did have a PTO but was removed before I purchased it).  It may have been used for tankers.<\/p>\n<p>1. From a regular idle, the turbo will spool up SLIGHTLY before the idle increases.  The truck will then idle rough, the engine gets a little louder and will stay at that idle.  I then tap the accelerator and the truck will return to its normal idle for another 3 minutes and 14 seconds and the process repeats as long as I tap the accelerator.<br \/>2.  When I cold start the truck (truck sits overnight) it idles smoothy and quietly for about the first 45 seconds to a minute.  After this amount of time the idle increases and gets rough like the description above.  If i release the tractor brakes the idle normalizes and the engine is quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Has anyone ever had the above problem with this engine?  Any input would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<br \/>Teemobile\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\n\t\tn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n\t\tdocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\tfbq('dataProcessingOptions', []);\n\tfbq('init', '1812746315680142'); \/\/ Insert your pixel ID here.\n\t\t\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruckersreport.com\/truckingindustryforum\/threads\/volvo-d13-strange-idle.2355114\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello,On my 2013 D13 engine I have a question:I have timed the below explanation 10 times while idling.
