You have a misfire. Have the vehicle scanned to see what the trouble code is. This will help by telling you which cylinder is the problem.

The P1747 code is telling you that the pressure control solenoid inside the tranny is showing a short. This could indicate a problem with the solenoid inside the tranny or a short in the wiring running to the tranny. Further diagnostics are necessary to determine which.

The P0401 code indicates insufficient EGR flow. This could be a bad EGR valve or the ports running to (or from) the EGR valve are blocked with carbon build-up. Remove the EGR valve to inspect the ports.
