Begin by checking for any ODB engine codes and go from there.
(If this is a 4.0L, and the intake plenum has not been replaced, that can cause rough idle/stalling.)

My car is making an awful groaning grinding noise noise when it starts. The noise stops after it starts. Put my foot on the brake it starts again. put thr car in reverse no problem put it in,drive it...

It's your exhaust mounts or broken exhaust bolts. It does it in drive st idle n under load because the motor is sitting in rubber mounts made to dampen vibration. Therefore the motor tilts to the left in reverse pulling the exhaust away from your under carraige, and to the right in drive causing the loose exhaust to vibrate against something. Check your heat shields also. They fall apart n do the same noise. Piece of cake.

Car starts but when i put it in gear it stops. i can drive it as long as i have my foot on the gas even when i break

I would begin by looking to see what ODB codes the engine has currently. With the 4.0L engine there are several areas I would look. If the intake plenum has not been replaced, there is a good chance it is leaking - causing the engine to run lean and rough idle, etc. But the codes and then looking at runtime data will get you going in the right direction.

ASL on cannot get into gear, and brake light are out

To get the car out of park you have to put the shifter right in between neutral and drive and as soon as the car starts put it in drive. Keep your foot on the brake obviously. You can go to Reversve once you get the car started and in DRive.
