The Focus has two heated O2 sensors (narrow band); they warm up fast. My UltraGauge says I'm already in closed loop a few feet out of the driveway (cold start, and go with no idling warm-up). That was the case before my custom tune, as well as now.

Before starting I have the ignition switch in the run position while buckle-up, release the hand brake, etc. That may help with some extra time for the O2 sensors to warm up a bit.
