ICE started up immediately

ICE started up immediately
It always takes about 10 seconds for the ICE to turn on after starting up the car. This morning the ICE turned on immediately and felt pretty rough. Within about 10 seconds it was running normally. Has anyone else had the ICE start up immediately upon starting the car?

One thing I did notice is that when I started the car the temp gauge was reading higher than it normally does on startup. It hasn't done it except for that one time.

It happened again. Started the car and waited for the beep to put it in reverse. The ICE started up immediately with no delay. I noticed another thing. Normally everything turns on slowly. For instance the fan on the climate control system will not turn on immediately and when it does it gently and gradually (over several seconds) gets up to speed. This morning it immediately came on full blast.
I know it's not as bad as what Norb and Charlesc had happen to them. But it does make me wonder.

If this happened to me, I'd be checking SoC first to see if it's ususually low. If it's not, it almost seems like the computer thinks it's already in "ready" mode instead of initializing ready mode.
I'm still pretty diberate with my On and Off cycles because I made a few goofs being to casual turning on and going off earlier on...
