1211 Is most likely a HPOP can't keep up ,or he may have an injector o ring issue. My take on the low fuel pressure is ,If the injector is sent the signal to fire with out sufficient fuel , it may change the pressure reading that the ICP sees .PCM is expecting pressure at a given RPM ,EOT ,Ect & is assuming there is sufficient fuel. The 1211 doesn't relate to the ICP sensor ,unless it is giving a biased reading . The PCM is assuming the sensor is correct .Changing it is a cheap test, but most likely a low pressure problem . Is the OP's truck chipped ?...How many miles on the oil?. what weight ?Any additives ?...

 

Need a Scanner,& a gauge set up

X7 KOER ON-DEMAND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1211
DTC P1211 indicates that injection control pressure was above or below commanded desired pressure during self test mode.
Possible causes:
incorrect oil or viscosity
poor oil quality

Gotta spread the love rick. =(

 

Thanks for all the replys, ok a little history on my truck. 95 F-350 CC 2wd Automatic. Truck is not chipped with 322k on the clock. Almost 3k on this oil change. I'm running Rotella 15w 40 no additives. Truck was running fine until a few weeks ago I was helping a friend with his delivery business and I pulled a trailer that was probally a little heavy for it most of the day. Truck got hotter than I have ever seen it but according to the gauge never over heated. Parked it that after noon after running all day and a hour later it would not start. Would turn over fine, just not start. Gave it just a wiff of starting fluid, and yes i know it does terriable things but it started and ran fine. Then for the next week it would start after sitting all night and run fine, but after i shut it off when i was warmed up, would not start without the aid of the fluid. After a week of this I was pulling onto my street, got a CEL on and the truck died. There it sat until the next morning. Hooked up the scanner and it was showing the P1211. I pulled the old IPR out, and it had bad orings, and my self attempt to taking it apart for service went to hell in a hand basket. Bought a new IPR from Ford, Intalled it and the truck started and ran like it should for a day. Then the next morning, I got the CEL back on with the P1211 code. I went back in, checked the connection to the solinoid, and retighned the sheet metal nut. Started up fine and ran fine for around 30 min, then CEL is back on showing the P1211. this is where i'm at. And I'm sorry for the spelling and gramer, this is from my cell phone at work

 

Check hpop level.
Trace the wiring back to near the vally and look for a bad area. I have read that the wires can go bad somewhere in that area and create issues.
Check the fuel pressure under the fpr while cranking. Unplug the icp and allow the pcm to set default running conditions and see what happens. If you have intermitant tach movement then check the cps wiring connection and you may want to change the cps. They have been known to be bad and give intermitant signals.

Check your fuel filter and and the small filter screen located at the very top right hand side of the fuel bowl for fouling. Look in the bottom of the bowl under the heater coil rack for filth and hard particals. If there is a lot of particals then remove fuel strainer plastic down pipe use bent 7/8" wrench to get to nut. Becarefull the riser can brake off reverse thread. Fuse 22 should be good under the hood. If not diconnect fuel bowl heater and replace fuse. Leave the drain valve open and clean the inside of the fuel bowl out with brake cleaner and rags. Refill bowl halfway with diesel and a little transmission fluid. Insert new filter and if the level get too high, open and drain a little out. I have a hose attached to the tubing from the drain valve and keep it tye wrapped to the wheel yoke where the fuel lines are. To put a hose on the fuel drain line, & locate the end of the tubing trace the right battery cable down to the first strap guide then go under the truck and reach behind the strap guide and there is the end of the tubing. push hose on with some pliers and secure with small worm gear clamp.
Let us know what you find today.

 

I havnt checked the hpop fluid resivour yet.will do that today as well as change the engine oil. When I replaced the ipr I removed the filter housing and made sure I was clean.

 

Hot no start ,or hard start is usually a high pressure leak(internal) , my best guess would be a leaking injector O ring.That many miles , could also be a poppet issue.. Poppet issues are a gradual thing most of the time unless a poppet screw comes loose..

You may want to pull the valve covers & watch for oil bubbling up from the base of an injector when the oil gets warm...Look at the spill spouts while you are there , they should all be spilling oil evenly..

 

This may be a dumb question, buy if the hpop resivour is low do I add oil to it?

 

There is a small hex or torx plug on the top of the reservoir.. oil should be 1/2 " or so from the top

 

oil to the hpop is supplied by the low pressure oil pump. it uses the same engine oil circulating to everything else so adding it directly to the hpop wont really do much.

you could try it and if it runs fine for a few seconds and the truck dies again and your hopo is low then you may have a bad low pressure oil pump that cant keep up but my guess with the hot no start its injector o-rings

 

Check valve in the HPOP could be messing up as well Justin.

 

Checked the hpop resivour, changed the engine oil, and unpluged the icp while running, no change other than a icp code after unplugging it

 

HOW DID YOU GET IT TO FIRE UP?

 

Since changing the ipr it will start when warm, but after a couple min the cel comes on and looses most of it's power. Will run and drive but has very little power

 

My wag
UVCWH is toasted when you got it hot. Inspect the two connects on each valve cover for evidence of being fried. Look hard at it.

What is the fuel pressure under the fpr use the shrader valve and test it.
You dont have to get the exact pressure so use a cheap a$$ tire gauge.
