2002 Buick Park Ave gas pedel sticks

Nest time you can not get it out of park take a look at the brake lights. If the brake lights are not illuminating than you possibly have a bad brake switch. The solenoid that holds the shift lever in park is released when the brake pedal is depressed. If the brake switch is not working the gear shift will not move.

I have seen in the past a failure of the brake light switch...try unplugging it and by passing it

usually a cable that moves when pressing brake pedal that takes gear lever out of lock allowing you to move gear lever. check the cable.

Is the check engine light on while the engine is running ?
If it is I would start there for clues.
If not, the list of possibilities is long.
You should check the fuel pressure and probably the throttle position sensor resistance. It could have a vac leak too.

Hello,

Check the wires for the brake system. Its possible that its been cut or something. This had happened to me already. In time, wires get brittle and they tend to just get cut off. This most of the times happen on places that snow.

I hope this helps. Thanks and have a nice day.

have you checked the coil packs

Have your Catalytic Converter checked for free flow, (if it is stopped up with calcification from unspent fuel, then the car will have trouble moving at all). A tell tale sign of oncoming Catalytic Converter problems is the overdrive balking or wanting to hesitate, when the transmission is in overdrive the vehicle is running at its lowest r.p.m. and so like at idle it will stumble or hesitate, or cut the engine altogeter, for the motor has to be able to exhale, to exhaust its combustion gases, in order to run properly, stopped up catalytic converters are a big problem with this car.

The switch for that light is on the e-brake assy. If you look above the pedal there will be a one wire switch on the mechanism.

try replacing all the spark plugs that what is sounds like now it will not be the starter motor also could be the coil for the spark

I would checkout the throttle position sensor.
