For some reason when its cold out my car starts to shift crappy then while holding throttle at steady rpm the clutches start to slip. When i hit tap the gas pedal the car jumps forward like the converter is locked up.

Also the afr at 15-20% throttle is around 12.1 when it should be 14.5. WOT runs at a 10 afr but when I let off the gas the afr jumps to 20 and hangs there till it drops to 14.8- 15

This only happens when its cold and not all the time, Ive tried unhooking battery and reseting the computer but still nothing.

I went to work with it running like that and turned the knob on my tweecer to a different setting And left it for 8 hrs and it all went away but it was hot out. changed it back to the first setting and still worked Fine. but When I tried this the night before while it was cold out it did not fix the problem.


Now my Question is What would cause this issue?
And how would I go about fixing it?
