Usually the car shoots a priming shot of fuel into the engine. Maybe
your injectors are sticking on that priming shot. (but all 4 at once?
unlikely) First I would probably pull the plugs and make sure they are
good. My other thought would be your ecm is seeing Wide Open Throttle
(wot) and that is the clear flood mode which prevents your injectors
from pulsing unless the engine goes over 400rpm or so then it will start
pulsing the injectors.
