Automatic kill to the NEW engine when put into reverse

Have a new 5.4 engine that when put into reverse is a kill switch when put into reverse.

O if only it was that easy,all fluids are at proper level. Its a dead short to the engine. Shop said they werent getting any power to the injectors and thinks it in the reverse/brake circuit.

Sorry to read that. ​Most of the time when an engine dies when it's put in reverse on 4r100s it's because of low transmission fluid. Something about not enough fluid causing clutches not to slip and that kills motor.
