automatic trans? sounds like your idle is too low it does need adjusted over time

Check your idle rpm...If it's an auto trans,it's gotta be at least 800 or quick acceleration and getting out of it will kill it dead. Idle screw is at the lower rear of the p7100 pump,believe it's a 10mm screw with a jam nut.

The 800 rpm is with ac on "max" and tranny in drive. 850 is even better, but, eventually your brakes wear out faster.

I agree with the idle recommendations. Here is a link on how to adjust it:

just had to turn mine up after new injectors. 800 to 850 is perfect. 10mm on back of the pump.
