I start once the engine is idling normally, when the cold engine enrichment mode is finished.

When preheating with my block heater, I start the engine at 115F on a 50F morning, and it takes about 30 seconds of running before it is idling normally.

When starting cold at work from 70F, it takes about a minute for the coolant to reach 100F and the engine to idle normally.
