If your mechanically inclined, disconnect your cat. Sounds like what my Dodge ram did and ended up being a clogged cat. Let me know what ya find if you do it.

I took my center counsel apart and the rod for my shifter I believe is broke I put it down into (L) and can move it up n down and side to side with my fingers

Have you looked at the transmission at the shifter lever to see if it moves? Have someone move the shifter and that'll give you a definite answer.
