SOURCE: it won't switch gears out of park...automatic transmission

Have some one move the shift lever and you watch the linkage under the car to see if the lever is moving on the transmission. Sounds like the linkage is lose. Tighten the bolt on the linkage and you will off and running again.

Engine won't stay running when cold and a clicking sound comes from the engine and it surges. Once the engine has warmed up,it will stay idling but the engine races once put into gear(automatic)

Possibly an idle air motor for your idle problem or a vacuum hose off.

My car surges at idle in drive position

Clean the airflow sensor. There is a special spray to do this. DO NOT use carburetor cleaner. It will damage the sensor.

To start with, you have a throttle body instead of a carburetor.
On that throttle body is a component called an air control valve.
That valve is how the computer controls the idle speed. It should open and close the air flow into the intake manifold as needed.
Is the check engine light on when you are driving ? Have you checked the fuel pressure ?

1990 Chevy Van with a 350 small block that has a mind of it's own.

Try to get it running a bit to warm up the exhaust. Take a point and shoot thermometer and take the temp of the cat. If temps exceed 400 degrees I would start to suspect a plugged cat.

Dirt may have got onto the O2 sensor, this could cause a surge without the light coming on. Some debris may be on a sensor preventing the computer from making correct adjustments.....
