flashing OD light is related to tranny problems, don't know why it would run bad at the same time though

Try pulling apart your shifter and disconnecting the switch, see if it still happens.

It may be that your computer is waiting for your engine to warm up.   I would disconnect the overdrive switch completely in order to remove it from the equation.  Once that is done you can work on troubleshooting the rest of the electronics.
