I have a 99 Eclipse GST, automatic transmission. I have a MAFT setup and 3" GM MAF Sensor.

The other day I was driving and stopped, when I went to drive it again I have a real rough idle and when I go to put it in drive 1st gear is like 5mph and the RPM's climb slow as hell and after it finally shifts out of first it seems to be fine but I don't know what is causing the issue? It was also a HEAVY downpour the day that it messed up.

Any help?
 
Did you try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it? I know at least when there is an issue with the AWD auto trans it will go into safe mode and not let you out of second until you reset the computer. It doesn't sound like you are in safe mode but I would give it a try.
