Misfire

I’m new to the diesel community and I need some help, I bought a 2003 6.0 f350 with 124,000 miles on it, Egr delete, and has been studded and a reman turbo, I have been having a misfire at about 1,200 rpm while driving it. Can’t really feel it at idle and I’ve been getting white smoke out of the tail pipe on a cold start in the mornings, no codes what so ever.

do you have a scanner, if not torque pro is a good app or forscan and you will need a blue tooth connector (ELM 327)

I will be getting the connector and app today, what are some things I should look for when I get everything, and I have noticed that the truck misfires going up hill while under load, and after getting warm it starts to misfire while sitting at a stop light or something like that.

Lots of people have good success with the BAFX adapter (its for Android, won't work on iOs)...should be around $23. Most of the adapters you see for ~$10 are going to be hit or miss. They are clones of clones, won't have the correct version of ELM, ect...but there are a lot of choices nowadays, maybe there are some good ones out there now. I would pay the $20 and be done with it. You're going to use this ALL THE TIME going forward.

I would recommend the OBDlink EX,
https://www.amazon.com/OBDLink-EX-FORScan-OBD-Adapter/dp/B081VQVD3F/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Forscan+adapter&qid=1594689607&sr=8-5 https://www.amazon.com/OBDLink-EX-FORScan-OBD-Adapter/dp/B081VQVD3F/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Forscan+adapter&qid=1594689607&sr=8-5

I also have the BAFX,
https://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Wireless-Bluetooth-Diagnostic/dp/B005NLQAHS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3SQEU3XJZWKMC&dchild=1&keywords=bafx+obd2&qid=1594689793&sprefix=BAFX%2Caps%2C243&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExMU80UlVUR1M4MFRNJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDk5MzQwUEc2SU05SE5aTEJLJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxMzkxNjczRFBTNU03SFlIMTlMJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== https://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Wireless-Bluetooth-Diagnostic/dp/B005NLQAHS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3SQEU3XJZWKMC&dchild=1&keywords=bafx+obd2&qid=1594689793&sprefix=BAFX%2Caps%2C243&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExMU80UlVUR1M4MFRNJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDk5MzQwUEc2SU05SE5aTEJLJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxMzkxNjczRFBTNU03SFlIMTlMJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

I use the OBDlink EX with Forscan + extended license on my laptop. It is almost a Pro tool, very fast, super stable, does almost everything, including programing, but very tech centric with a bit of a learning curve....I use the BAFX with Torque Pro on my phone. It reads and clears codes and makes a decent monitor. Super simple very easy to use. Good luck, Russ

thank you everyone for the recommended connectors, I ended up using a buddy of mines snap-on scan tool and I finally got some codes. they are
p2284 injector control pressure sensor circuit range/performance- icp voltage is at .94
p0272 cylinder 4 contribution/balance fault
p0278 cylinder 6 contribution/balance fault
p0281 cylinder 7 contribution/balance fault
my main question here is could the icp sensor be causing the three injector codes I have? any help is appreciated

1,4,6,7 are all on the same FICM channel. Your 3 codes are all on the same FICM channel. You could have a FICM issue or a FICM harness issue. Make sure that the FICM X-1 plug is fully plugged in. The X-1 plug is the one on the end. Could be injectors also.

P2284: ICP Sensor Circuit - Range/Performance. ICP desired does not equal ICP signal, causing the system to use the default inferred ICP value. Often times, this is a code for an IPR problem instead of an ICP problem.

Post #8 has very good advice, check to make sure the FICM harness is fully connected to the FICM first.

Well I checked to make sure my connector was plugged in all the way and harness and Everything looks good. Checked voltage on FICM and never went below 47 volts. Anything else I should try?

No, but a FICM is a computer ...... it is more than a power supply.

You have a logic side, drivers, etc as well as a 48 volt converter board.
