id go for chicken feet and blood and voodoo , sessions.....loLfirst off, i see an illegal fast idle ,and all A/T trannys do that, when the engine rpm fraks up.to move car, due to the stall speed rules of the clutch torque converter (aka ,the fluid clutch) wiki clutch stall speed.that A/T weakness, is why folks run over kids. (the lame excuse)starting a car with foot off the brake is , folly, thus the lock all outs called park lock features.i can not follow your sequence of events.so will ask questions.1: I start the engine, its don't want to but does. (ever tune it up?)2: Does the CHECK engine lamp go out (CEL/SES)? running.for sure, if the engines stalls many lights will glow in the cluster but that is normal, see? for any stall.!The Charge light comes on anytime the Alternator goes deador hits near 0 RPM (stalled) so are you saying at 3000 rpm, the charge lamp came on./??????battery lamp is not battery, its really a Charge lamp.the op guide states that too.on my car I have a battery gauge too, and shows VOLTS.at idle its 14v. its 14v at all rpm. if less, say so.I have 2004. GV. with full manuals. even factory FSM. ++++++ok , in drive, no acceleration, are you saying ,1: im in A/T drive.2: the engine is idling at 800 RPM hot or near 1500 cold3000 is wrong, dead wrong, you in ALASKA, state location(gen)i increase the RPM with my right foot and the car don't movein DRIVEas RPM rises above 1500 RPM, you do have a tacho , i see that.if it does not move with hgher RPMs, the trans is bad or its TCM is bad.on your car the TCM is hidden deep inside the PCM. back in 1997.the PCM runs the engine and tranny today.if something lies to the TCM/PCM the tranny will not go into drive.on newer 96+ cars, you see the check engine lamp glow.running (not stalled, stalling this CEL glows all the time) but running, the CEL glowing means Faults found, scan me,. please.eg:so you scan it, and find DTC's stored (many?) eg.... in english... the transmission selector switch is bad. or worse.not using a scan tool ,means ($7 cost) means you miss all the facts. hard cold real facts.the ECU can not shift any car with a bad selector switch.so throws the DTC error.it can be even be a loose selector cable, cave man simple.recap.does the CEL lamp stay out running at all times.no, ? then scan it.do not post car problems with stored, or pending DTCs on any car newer than 1995. or its just wild guessing.. mostly.
