"sit and idle" are the operative words here I think.. A diesel engine at idle will stack unburned/poorly burned fuel in the cylinders and exhaust when idled for any period of time.
This is due to the lower combustion rate in the unloaded engine and slight overfuel condition to sustain idle [so I'm told].... which is why the new rules for parking semi tractors went into effect. When they start pulling after idle they smoked and rolled coal. Could be you have one or more fuel nozzles that are not still making a good spray pattern, which gives large droplets of fuel which take more heat and energy to light off, available at higher speeds and greater loads on the engine. Just a few thoughts, Grant...
