p 1212 no start

03 7.3 no start

A buddy of mine has an '02 7.3 F350 he runs an excavating business and uses his truck every day to earn a living.
He can spray starting fluid in the intake and get it to start and it will run all day long (as long as you don't turn the key off)
But it will not start without a shot of starting fluid any ideas?

He is getting a P 1212 code.

The truck will not start without a shot of starting fluid any ideas before he starts replacing expensive parts?

Thanks

P1212 is: Injector Control Pressure Lower Than Desired (engine crank or run),

so says Autoenginuity.

tell him to quit the starter fluid before he really damages something.

our wiki says:

P1212 ICP Voltage Not at Expected Level

 

[twildman]

Tell him to unplug his ICP sensor and see if it will start.
