I would first see if your vacuum check valve first, then check your vacuum tank for leaks. When you have limited vacuum the vacuum relays do strange things at startup and shutdown.

Just a guess, but have you checked The pull down switch under the column? Should be in the up position.

Mine started doing that. It was the switch mounted on the right wiper arm. When I took it off the plunger came right out and the seal(s) were worn out.

Might want to check that too.
