no power

I'm guessing it's an Automatic. The cold starts is normal and I can't remember what needs to be changed for correction. Maybe another AODE guy will chime in here. Also could be your power problem. An Automatic Vert with stock gears is the heaviest Mustang ever made.

Are you getting any check engine lights? I was when I first got mine, it turned out to be the MAF sensor was bad. Replaced it, man it would move then. If you're getting check engine lights, pull some codes to see what's up.

BTW, welcome to Stangnet

How many miles does the 95 have on it? Did the previous owner(s) ever service the AODE?

I just got the AODE on my 95 flushed and the fluid replaced earlier this year - the gearbox shifts much better now, with less hang-up and lurching around. I seriously doubt the previous owner ever bothered with anything other than an oil change.

Also make sure the spark plugs and the rest of the ignition system is up-to-date. If those haven't been serviced properly, you're losing power (which is never a good thing).

(Added)

My 95 didn't idle well in the morning either (especially when it was cold), until I did a comprehensive tune-up. PCV valve was plugged, spark plugs were corroded, etc. Now it starts perfectly and idles perfectly, whether it's hot or cold outside.

Clean your mass air meter and clean it now. This could very possibly be your problem and the dealership will NOT check this. Before I cleaned mine it was so slow it was ridiculous. Best "mod" if you will, I've done yet.

I also have an automatic and had the hanging in gear problem when i first got the car. at that point i was extremely poor and was using 87 octane. i'm not sure if you do use that but when i switched from 87 to 93 i noticed a HUGE difference in how readily my car changed gears. i don't have any advice on the idling thing. my car randomly dies sometimes but that's after i put it in gear. also to go with the no power comment, this is probably really stupid but i've noticed when my gas get's low(below half a tank) i have no power and it feels extremely bogged down but right when i fill up it's right back to normal. good luck fixing up your stang.

Im pretty sure the 03 Cobra tips the scales even higher then the 94/95 auto Verts.
