E4OD issue

Hello.
I have a 1993 F350, 7,3 idi with a E4OD, which is giving me some trouble.
It is surging, and when i put it in Drive, it seems it take off in 4th gear.
Looks like 1st gear is also not working when i put it in first.
Read codes today, got 23, 29, 62, 67, 91, 94 and 99.
Replaced the FIPL sensor, and adjusted it to 1,5 at idle and 4,10 at wot.
Replaced vss.
Checked and cleaned the connections on the mpls and the solenoid pack. Noticed some oil on the connector to the solenoid pack.
Could it be just the wiring, or also the solenoid pack?
Appreciate any suggestions.

It is most likely the wiring. What you are describing is how the E4OD functions when there is no power to the shift solenoids.

Update

Here is an update on my issues..
Found the connector to the solenoid pack to be loose. Replaced the wiring harness. Have all gears now. Replaced the MLPS. Cleared all codes, except 23, and 62. It still surging, at certain rpm's and speeds. When od is on, it surges on various speeds, but seems at a certain rpm. When od is off, it shifts "normal" from 1-2-3, and then from 3-4 almost immediately, around 35 mph, and it wil go back snd forth between 3 & 4 if i stay around that speed.
I replaced the FIPL, and adjusted it to 1,25V at idle, and 4,18 at WOT.
Im not sure where to look next...
And btw, the od light is not working either.

When the OD is off it cannot shift 3-4. OD is fourth gear, and when OD is off it prevents the 3-4 shift from happening.

What you think is the 3-4 shift is actually the torque converter clutch locking.

Your problem is probably the 23 code, which indicates a problem with the throttle position sensor or wiring to the sensor.

Thanks for the reply.
Will check again the FIPL and wiring.
The van has a 3rd brake light, with bad connection to one of the bulbs. Could that affect this, or would it throw a different code then?

The third brake light won't set any codes.

It could also be a bad power relay for the EEC.
