I’ve got three codes on my car. P0219-00 P0729-00 and p0735-00. My car runs good for a little bit then after a while it starts shifting and not driving good at all. And eventually it’ll completely lose power and won’t go anymore. It will be running but it has no throttle response and won’t rev up or move in any gear.

This does not sound good, I would check the transmission fluid level first.

Code P0219-00 - Engine Overspeed Condition
Code P0729-00 - Gear 6 Incorrect Ratio
Code P0735-00 - Gear 5 Incorrect Ratio

Here is how to check the fluid level. Also, try to get a small sample of the fluid to see if it smells burnt, if so, you may need a rebuilt transmission dur to gear 5 and 6 slipping.

Okay, I would try a turbine shaft sensor here is the location so you can swap it out. They say that you can use a scanner and look at the rotational speed, but I have found that it doesn't always work. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
