99 F250 Super Duty Blowing White Smoke on Start Up
I'm stumped. My 99 7.3 when I got it a couple months ago had no CEL and didn't want to start in the cold, but now it's throwing codes for EBPV, and 1211 and 1212, and 0603 (assuming because of the tuner I added), and 1280.
I recently changed glow plugs to get it to start in the cold, and changed IPR, ICP, and did a 5w40 oil change as weather here is getting to single digits. Still blows white smoke but no longer sputters and dies after startup like it used to.
I can't always plug it in because I don't always have access to the right parking spots at my apartment complex.

Thank you. I replaced the ICP with Standard brand, and it came with a pigtail to replace the wiring. So I replaced the wiring and put in the new ICP but it didn't want to start up. I replaced the ICP with the old one and it started up. Code's still there though (1212). The EBPV codes are P0475 P0478 and P0470 for the EBPV. (Unless I'm mistaken)

You were getting the 1211 because it's an aftermarket unit which isn't compatible. The 1212 code is for wrong voltage...bad sensor. If you unplug the sensor it should default. Does the old sensor have oil in it? The EBPV codes could simply be a dirty sensor and/or clogged sensor tube, both of which can be cleaned. While you have the sensor out, ohm it to make certain it's good. Same with the tube as they typically get a hole in them that you can't see where they go down to connect to the passenger side exhaust manifold.

Well the 1211 code went away after I changed ICP sensors. I plan on cleaning the EBP tube out today. I checked the ICP sensor and it's totally dry, that's why i was comfortable using the old one again. The old one is the one in there now. It's throwing 1212 still though. I'm on my way to get a new glow plug relay now. Also, I don't have a multimeter to test the ohms unfortunately.
