GP light duration

What is the generally acceptable duration for the GP light? Here in NC it has been getting down to 40s at night. The GP light is staying on for maybe 5 secs, but my SD is running rough on cold start as if some GPs are not on. Now, I have been letting them glow for 30-60 secs before cranking. Still rough idle until heat is built up. I know I need to ohm them out. Is a shorter duration due to less resistance from opens in one or more of the GPs?
