HELP PLEASE!!!!!

[chris9074]

Ok guys I need help for the last 3 moths I've been having a serious starting problem, I recently found the problem (corroded wire harness, I cleaned and no problems) but as I was diagnosing the vehicle I replaced the ecm, which was corroded, I start the truck and I have to floor it to move, if I put it in 1 or 2 it takes off, I pulled over and looked under it and I'm pouring fluid from the sight hole on the bellhousing of the transmission, I went from full to BONE DRY in 5 MILES, now I never had a leak problem till now *** HELP ME PLEASE, never had this problem till I changed out the ECM,

E4OD have 20 pan bolts; P-R-N-D-2-1 shifter pattern

I see in your first post here you did post a 35 Code;

can you test for codes again, for at least KOEO?

The leak Most likely has nothing in common with the starting problem, but could cause the "floor it to move" due to low trans fluid level if reddish E4OD trans fluid is most likely the pump seal; check for rear main leak on engine as well

Read this & More by Ford for a 06 E4OD, but applicable to your 90;

Leakage at the front of the transmission as evidenced by fluid around the converter housing, may have several sources. By careful observation it is possible, in many instances, to pinpoint the source of the leak before removing the transmission from the vehicle. The paths that the fluid can take to reach the bottom of the converter housing are as shown in the following illustration. The following five steps correspond with the numbers in the illustration.

Was the replacement ECM from same year, same engine and same Calibration Code?

Look @ Engagement Concerns

•No Forward Only

or

•No Forward and No Reverse Only

Can always check the connector pins to ECM for what Ford describes as "terminal back-out"
