Your symptoms do not sound like a transmission problem to me. At least I have never heard of the TorqueShift doing this. It does sound to me like you lost power for some reason. The fuel rail code combined with your symptoms makes me think you are hydro-locking the fuel pump under high load conditions. This happens because the fuel pump is running hot. From what I've researched it seems that long-term parking with ethanol in the tank can cause the impellers to swell slightly. The extra friction makes it run hot, which eventually will cause it to boil in the pump and you get your hydro-lock condition.
