Just the other day my car starting ideling really hard.. once it hits 45 it starts to make a loud revving noise and rpms go up to 5 almost 6. when they hooked it up to a machine it states that my solenoid was locked in 3rd gear. auto parts tell me i don't have a solenoid.. im a single mom .. i need my car .. please help tell me what part i need.. could it be as easy as maybe changing transmission filter

it sounds like you have an internal trans failure, not a solenoid or filter. you need a trans shop to pinpoint the failure.
