The car runs like that at the beginning because the fuel lines aren''t fully pressurized. The fuel relay should only have 4 wires connected to it. The fuel pump may or may not turn on until the starter kicks in.
You may want to check the fuel filter, it can be ready to change that out.
Unless you like a cheap version of the autostick, I would have that "option" removed because the tranny isn''t made to work like that. Those auto trannies build up a lot of heat.

So, what about a tranny swap?
