Do you mean accelerating while shifted into PARK or accelerating from a dead stop? If you mean from a stop then have you tried accelerating while shifted to 1,2, or 3 (or whatever there is other than drive)? How about Reverse?

When at park position, putting the van from park to drive then press the pedal to accelerate it will either hesitate or shutdown

1. Try reverse and see what it does (R is a larger gear so highest engine power over transmission) -- what does it do?
2. Put shifter down to 1 (this forces the automatic transmission to use 1st gear) -- what does it do?
3. When you put it in N does the indicator on the dash land over the N or closer to R or D? (if shifter is through a cable it can wander)

Also, are you needing any tune up parts like spark plugs, air filter, or fuel filter (if you have one)?
Has the issue only happened on the current tank of gas? Could be lousy gas or have water in it.

Ok will try those later, many mechanics told it's gas pump n filter that's need to change, but I'm not too sure my engine Revs great, it's like when never load is apply it's shuts down but now it's even worst I can't even accelerate from a dead stop too fast because the engine will hesitate

That is what would happen if your fuel filter we're mostly clogged or fuel pump were dying. But then again it could also be spark or air if nobody has actually gone and checked anything.
