Sounds like it is stuck in 3rd... or in a failsafe mode.

Any warning lamps on?

Did you check all of the fuses on the car?

Since the engine was replaced recently, I would highly recommend taking a very long look at the wiring harness. Make sure all of the grounds at the back of the heads are in place.

You gotta fix the obvious things 1st.

Find out why the lamp is on and that just might give you a clue as to why the PCM is commanding max pressure and it is not operating correctly.

Try this right after you get the codes..... disconnect the battery for a few minutes in order to clear the memory. Then run it through the gears to see if it is a hard fault and go from there.

Well that little memory wipe will tell you if the condition is being commanded by the
PCM. It could be any of a number of things... that is just a starting point.
