Default 1998 Blazer Running Sluggish

Hi guys!
I recently purchased a 1998 4wd Blazer, my first Chevy
It has the 4.3 V-6 and 4L60-E transmission.
The issue that I am having is that when I come to a complete stop and let the RPM's drop to idle, it is terrible getting it up to speed. The RPM's will go to the moon and back, but it's physical acceleration is slower than walking pace for the first 10-12 seconds. I have to shift it from L to 2 to D manually to go anywhere! It's almost like the transmission isn't engaging. Any ideas as to what it could be? It had the check engine light on because of two solenoids in the transmission, which I had replaced, but that did not correct the problem. Please help!
Thank you!
