More E350 Problems....
Bragged too soon...going down the road yesterday at about 65 mph, engine suddenly dies...while I'm trying to figure out what happened I must have left it in drive/neutral to long(I let it coast for quite a ways to get it off the road)...seems I lost voltage to the fuel injector shutoff sol......I hot wired it and got it running, then I noticed tranny fld coming out of the frt seal area....a LOT!!! Never leaked before so I'm thinking it blew when it quit running...
So first question, are there fuses or relays that could cause the loss of voltage?
Second really isn't a question, I've about got the tranny ready to come out, just hope I didn't smoke it....

my buddies truck has the injection pump hotwired with a switch, and one day his mom moved the truck and she turned the key switch off, but the truck was still running, and when this hapened, it started gushing out the front seal and it blew the oil cooler line!! i guess if you turn the key off when the motor is still spinning, it throws line ressure out the roof and does all kinds of goofey stuff. now he hooked the line back up and it ran fine for a while, but the tranny is messing up bad. od light and torque converter lock-unlock at random and sometimes throwsit in 2nd gear when you going 70 down the road. but i think that is because he used to go mudding a lot with 33-12.5's and he has abused it terribly, lus, he doesn't know how to pull a trailer and be easy on the truck at he same time. so i think it legitimately burned up. but the i.p. is messed up and needs a new one also. i am trying to buy the truck now, i offered 2500 as is, but he says its worth more(even with a bad i.p. and a blown tranny and a messed up front end 4-wheel drive) i think hes on the good end of the deal when the trucks got 200,000 miles on it

Okay, now I'm freaked.....could the fact that I lost voltage to the IP have caused the tranny problem? Are you saying that I may have lost some kind of voltage to the tranny controls also?

well, did you turn the key off while you were still coasting down the road and the tranny was still turning the motor?? im not sure if the e4od's will keep the motor turning like a standard if you are still coasting and you turn the key off. but if it does, then that may have been what happened, key off + motor still turning = bad things happen. its hard to explain it to you, like say your driving down the road, and the truck loses power. then you are like wtf? but could you tell that the engine was still turning for a little while? and if it was turning, did you turn the key off before you put it in neutral? if you did, then that may be your problem. exlain in detail what happened and in that order please so i can give you better info. the tranny may not be hurt. or not very bad at least. it didn't hurt my friends tranny. not right away anyways, that was about 5 months ago and it just now burned up. but i think it burned up because of other reasons.

Can't honestly remember if I turned the key off while still coasting or not...I know I put it in N....I probably left the key on till I got stopped so I could steer it...
But back to the low of voltage, are there any fuses or relays that could cause that?
