Diesel Engine Noise

Why is it that when you take your foot off the gas the engine goes quiet for a few seconds. Then makes the diesel sound again?

Maybe a case of identity confusion... a gasser in a diesels body.

Have you tried counseling

It's just the injector system defueling since the engine isn't working. Since you don't have a throttle like a gas engine, the injectors just greatly reduce the amount of fuel that's being pumped into the engine, thus the lack of sound until the demand catches up.

And TX Silver, who wankled your garfunkle anyway???!
