please help me

I have a 2001 7.3 ford the seal in the turbo went and oil went in the exhaust. lots of oil like 10 quarts. I had a rebuilt turbo installed ran great for 2 weeks then one day out of the blue started idling rough and then downward from there no power stalling etc I have my super chip scanner it read dtcs of 1249 478 1211 and 238. Is it possible the muffler is plugged with oil? or is it and ipr? 193000 miles please help

Have you cleared the codes and seen what reappeared? If not, write them down and clear them. Drive, see what reappears, and focus on the causes of them. The P1211 ICP code may be part of your problem. Skewed ICP readings will cause drivability problems. I recently had some fueling issues, and hard start (long cranking), that were solved with a new ICP sensor.

238 = turbo boost sensor A circuit high input (MAP sensor)
478 = exhaust pressure control valve high input (plugged sensor line, stuck butterfly, plugged exhaust)
1211 = IPR valve above/below desired
1249 = waste-gate failure steady state

Do you have a catalytic converter?

Ok So I changed the Ipr it wont even start now just fires a little bit. White smoke coming from exhaust while turning it over but no fire.
these codes still there
238 = turbo boost sensor A circuit high input (MAP sensor)
478 = exhaust pressure control valve high input (plugged sensor line, stuck butterfly, plugged exhaust)
1211 = IPR valve above/below desired
1249 = waste-gate failure steady state
i erased them but it wont fire to give me new ones could it be a plugged exhaust?

Was the truck parked for a while? Do you have rodents where you live? Is it possible a furry little friend got in there and did some damage? Just a stab in the dark mind you.
