sputtering and tranny ???
question #1. only happens when i havent drove it like overnight or so when i start the car and put it in drive it will take literally up to a full min at time before it engages into drive and after it warms and it will engage right away. fluid is clean and full.
question #2. also when first starting the car sputters alot. almost sounds like its missing, i smell fuel. and alot of black smoke out of the exhaust. but when the motor warms up it respones fine most of the time, sometime it still hesitates or misses, i have a new air inlet temp sensor, the car does seem like its burning through fuel alot faster, might be running rich as well. how would i check and adjust that??

Question #1 This can only be 2 things, 1 you are super low on tranny fluid, or 2 the seals in the transmission are hard as a rock and are not sealing allowing blow-by until they get warm and soften up.
Question#2 What codes if any is it throwing? If it was me I would start at the coolant temp sender. Do a search and figure out what ohm reading you should have with the ambient temperature out side on a morning after it has been sitting all night. I bet it is bad and telling the pcm its way colder than it is.
