2000 Lincoln LS Sign In

Okay, so i have a 2000 Lincoln LS V8 3.9L and the timing chains broke when i was starting it. Valve broke a whole in the piston so i bought a wrecked 2002 Lincoln LS V8 3.9L car and took the engine out of it and put in my car. Kept my transmission due to the fact i never had any issues with it. Got the engine running and it runs great. Problem is, It saying check transmission and instead of saying P for park, its saying E. When you take it of of park and put it in reverse it works fine. Reverse is normal. Put it in drive and try to take off and it feels sorta like a burned up clutch. Real hard to get going. Almost have to have the gas pedal to the floor. Once you get it going it wont shift. I have checked all the sensor plugs and i got everything hooked back up correctly. Didn't pinch the wiring harness or anything. Checked the fluid, Its full. So i ran a scanner on it. All it told me is pretty much that i dont have a transmission in the car... It isnt ready any of the sensors. Only thing i could thing of was the computer. So i changed out the computer. Still does it. Anyone with any ideas please please help me. This is my only car and i have already lost my job because i cant find anyone to give me a ride to work which is thirty miles away from home. Im struggling to keep up payments on the car due to the fact i have dumped about three grand into this car now. So any help please. Kyle

my guess is that you need to have the ECU reprogrammed and "mated" to the transmission form the new engine or the ECU formn the old engine "mated" to the new engine. im not sure but i believe that has to be done on cars nowadays. also check the linkage to make usre its adjusted correctly.

well if you changed out the computer supprised it starts at all you need to program your PCM to all the other modules and PATS keys also need to be programmed.

May be conflict issue from PCM>IC who knows. More then likely there is a harness that is disconnected or damaged. Still should work with the orig PCM hooked up if everything is ok.
