I have a 2000 park ave and I had a few issues recently. Driving it started to make some odd noises and thought I had a coil problem. I had a friend mechanic come over and he checked everything and the coils Drove it the next day and got halfway down the street and it stopped going. Pushed it back to the drive way and left it there for the day. came back in the morning and it started right up and drove into the driveway. Decided to take it around the block and it stopped moving just out of the driveway. Shut it off and started it again and got it back in the driveway. Come to find out, after I start it, it will move then quit. Turn it off again, start it and it will move for a bit. I have an up hill driveway and it will climb it to the top, and then nothing. Is there a sensor for pressure or some sensor that need to be replaced or is my transmission in need of full repair. If we need more info I can get a video if needed. Please help. Love this car and need it to commute. Thanks in advance.

FYI the fluid is full and not burnt. Still clean. Sorry forgot to post it before
 
You could have other problems, but start with disconnecting the MAF to see if the engine will run.
 
If by "stop going", you mean it just stops moving forward (while the engine remains running), I have the exact same story, which in my case ended in a transmission replacement (currently ongoing). You can try dropping the pan and replacing the filter, because your symptoms sound like fluid starvation--the suction from the fluid pump stops when the engine shuts off, which can allow fine debris stuck to the filter to "fall back" into the pan, which gets sucked back up shortly after the restart.

In my case, the debris was almost certainly clutch material, as it was slipping anytime I got into boost, as well.

If the engine is quitting, please disregard everything I just posted.
 
This sounds like my 96' Park Ave. It slips gears a LOT and mostly when turning left. Its been sitting for 3 months because one day I cranked it and it wouldn't hardly move. Restarted the engine and it moved down the street and back. I have suspected the trans went out and I don't have the money for a replacement so I am trying to sell it.
