Which engine do you have?

Also what exactly do you mean by "and engine pressure stope at 3 almost"?

So you have 3 forward gears, but no 4th gear? 4th gear control by the PCM and the valve body. Your best bet is get the vehicle into a shop and find out what is wrong. I can only guess at this point. You just don't want to throw parts into the vehicle and hope it fix's the problem.

I had the same issue for a pretty long time. Mine turned out to be a failed seal in the overdrive piston.

You have a PCM issue. As for 2002 and 2003 they did some upgrading so they might not work.

Powertrain control modules has a vin number burn into the software, that has all the information the vehicle should have. After you replace the PCM, did you notice the ABS and brake light stay on for a while? If it did, that's because the ABS module was getting a mismatch vin number from the PCM. Do you still have the old PCM and Skeem module? That's for the ignition key
