The shift solenoid problem should be taken to a trans shop to be looked at.The other code is for an intake manifold runner stuck open, there are vacuum actuators that open runners in the manifold under hard throttle, either the vacuum diaphram on one is blown or the plastic bushing on the end is broken allowing the rod to fall out
