check the solenoid connector on the transmission if its automatic
make sure it is all the way on the solenoid and there is no dirt or mud on the contacts

buddy had the same problem. his was the pressure sensor inside the valve body. $450 at the shop. $50 for the part.

drop the pan, drop the valvebody, replace..

buy new tools or alot of beer with the money saved.
