Sounds like there might be a vacuum leak? Do you hear a hissing under the hood anywhere? Other then that I'm not sure, but these guys on here will be able to help you out.

The park/drive situation has me baffled but definitely check the vacuum hoses on top of the upper intake manifold. There are a couple of specially formed ones that crack/split and that will cause big problems.
