most likely its your transmission if its starting and then not moving -- I know someone who everything was fine with the car but it wouldn't move and it was a broken axel

Even though it only has 63,000 you gotta realize that it's on old car. So yeah it's probably the transmission.

Probablly. Try shifting the auto tranny all the way down to first gear and back to park a few times, then see if it will move out in first. It will only go slowly in that gear, but you may be able to get it to start engaging again, or at least limp it to a service place.

The bad news is that car is not very reliable to start with, and being more than 10 years old, it will likely develop additional problems shortly. Good luck.

2003 Grand Am SE starting problems?

It sounds like your trany was leaking fluid and eventually it ran out and that causes the car to sit there like a rock.On a 1991 it is very rare that the transmission would blow this soon. Check if there is anything blocking the front wheels or you could have just left your E-brake on. Try adding some trany fluid and see if it moves,if it dose you need some transmission work done.If it dosen't move The cable that conects to the rear wheels and E-brake may be stuck or you could need a your trany rebuilt or yould could need a brand new one witch could be about $300-$600 bucks
