L stands for Low which is the Lowest gear(Gear 1) in auto-trasmission meaning the when the Leaver is in L,it locks the transmission in first gear only.you wont hear the car shifting to 2nd,3rd,4th gear as you would hear it shift when in D.This Gear is usually used when Towing or Moving in sandy or snowy areas.same principle as the Manual transmission,when driving at Low speeds.e.g Traffic,Towing etc,we usually use drive using 1st and 2nd Gear and then advance to Higher gears at high speeds.
It won't hurt. As long as the engine is running the transmission fluid is being circulated, keeping everything lubricated and the fluid cooled. As to if you will actually get better fuel consumption or not, I can't say. Out of gear the engine will use fuel, and in gear it wont. In gear the engine will slow the car down, and out of gear it won't. Which of the two above will give better mileage?
Stuck in Park? Check to see if the brake lights are working - same circuit as shift interlock Check to see if stop light fuse blown Try turning key to 1st position (unlock) shift to neutral to start and then shift to Drive also check to make sure the selenoid on the shift mechanism is working on mine it froze up and stopped working properly if that happens it will normally work when the interior is warm just make sure it is working or it wont let you shift.
if your talking about when your cranking the engine over with the cap off, then you have a broken distributor gear or shaft or bad camshaft gear.
It is quite possible that your clutch is not disengaging the transmission from the motor. Also, your synchros could be bad, which would not allow it to go into gear.
