I'm guessing your tranny is shot and you need a new one.

prolly one of the bands is toast. when you put it in sst, it skips to 2nd right? it uses a different clutch pack then? and that's why it can then move.

Gen I skips to 2nd in auto as well. The sensor data from the transmission is bad enough that the PCM is unwilling to try shifting it without it being in manual mode. We can speculate about it (and it does seem bad) but with no real data to go on, our guesses may not be very good.
You need to get the codes scanned by a Ford specific scan tool, and then you will probably need a physical inspection and some more diagnostic tests. If you've been driving this way for a while, you can probably skip all that and go straight to transmission replacement.
A better bet would be to trade it for a car that you could better afford to keep running.

The exception is if you floor it (or nearly floor it), then it will start in 1st.

i knew it did that in SST, but was unaware the same rules applied to auto mode.
Nope. In D5 and D4 the trans starts in 1st gear. The 2nd gear start in SST was required to prevent the gas-guzzler tax from kicking-in.

Pretty darn sure it did that in D4 and D5 too, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong.
