Would a boost leak cause a misfire or my RPMs to go to 4k on start?

And I semi adjusted I didn't have a meter or anything I needed to do it, so it's kinda went with it. The cel goes away as soon as I hit the gas
Also my Engine coolant light has been on lately but only comes on at startup, once the car is driven and warmed up it goes off.
Maybe the coolant sensor is sending more fuel when it's cold out and an injector is stuck open dumping fuel possibly?? It's smells pure rich when running

*Update*

Well I'm now idling at 1200 which is fine. The Cel is still the same and coolant light is gone. So now when I stick it in drive and hit the gas the car does not go much of anywhere, wont do over 15mph, boosts to only 2lbs and the RPMs won't go past 2200


I used to have an auto that did the same thing. I swapped out torque converters and that didnt work. I buddy of mine told me it could be a planetary gear, and a shop told me it could be the pump inside the tranny. i got rid of it because either way it was a rebuild:banghead:. but to check to see if its the pump, pull off one of the lines coming from the top of the trans to the radiator and have some one turn the key over....see if anything comes out......

limp mode possibly??????
