Why your 1997 Ford Ranger will not move after you put it in drive with a cold engine?

Check the Transmission Fluid level first. It could be down.
On the other hand, if the level is up and the engine is running but the vehicle won't move after putting it in drive you probably have a valve body problem in the transmission. You might get a little improvement with something that softens the seals and/or stops the leaking. Most likely it won't help much but it's worth a try.
If it only runs after it warms up, try changing the fluid and filter but don't try running it until you move a little fluid through the valve body. Put it in gear but don't try to go, just let it idle for a few minutes. If that won't work you'll have to get the transmission rebuilt.
