I have a 2000 Ford Focus (automatic). When I start the car in the morning (usually when it is very cold) it makes a lot of noise, the engine is too loud. Also it does not move when I accelerate. I keep the engine on for 10-15 minutes then it is fine. Otherwise, I have to press the gas paddle to the floor for 3-4 minutes and then the car starts crawling. Within 5 minutes it comes back to normal speed. When the car is warmed up and has been driven for 4-5 miles then it does not make any noise. If it is not too cold then the car starts just fine. I checked the Transmission fluid and it is a little over the "max" mark.

Can someone tell me what is wrong with it? I don't want to buy a new car. Please help.
