Are you sure your washing machine is turned off?

More information required.
was it hard it start?
Is it lumpy tickover?
Has it just started doing it?
Has it lost power?
Blue smoke out if exhaust?
Whistle noises or knocking noises?
Etc...

Let the car tick over and slowly lift up the dipstick to break the seal. Does the idle settle down then or get worse and nearky stall?

I Have experienced the same thing after a long drive. Takes longer to cool down and the fan is very very loud.
