Yea that sounds right because the general public wouldn't wait after
inserting the key for the glow plugs to warm.  I remember a buddy of
mine in VA talking about that.  You were supposed to put the key in

apparantly that small detail was kicking people's asses so they went
to the door thing.  It's been a couple years maybe I am wrong.
