Any way to start at a gate with engines running ?

No, they do not. I had to change the panel state when starting at a gate so that the engines would spool up.

This is is in 2020 right? Or any other sim the plane was designed for? I've purchased about 10 or so pmdg planes and the first run was always engines running so I loaded c&d and set that as the default startup state. If they've changed the default behaviour since my last purchase a few months back I apologise. 

Also if I'm wrong lol!

All I know is that when I selected a gate (or ramp) starting location for the 737-600 and 777F in MSFS 2020, the engines were switched off. I had to select the READY FOR TAXI panel state in the FMS to enable an automatic engine start and system initialisation at every subsequent start.

You can save "TAXI" as the default panel state in the PMDG 737 so I'm guessing you can also do it in the PMDG 736.

PMDG Setup > Startup State > Taxi is on the last page.
