OBS FORD 7.3 POWERSTROKE HPOP TEST

It's been quite a while since I've worked on this truck, but it its finally time to tackle the problem! The check engine light/engine code that has been consistent is P1211 ("Injection Control Pressure Higher or Lower Than Desired"). Basically, it means that the engine is having trouble with oil going to the injectors. Either there is too much oil, or in my case not enough oil to make the system happy. This video goes over the process of elimination to pinpoint the problem. I hope this video is helpful to someone who has the same issue as my truck. Thanks For Watching!

    Thanks for an informative video! While cranking you first have 0psi showing and then it jumps to 3400psi. Is that you opening and closing the IPR valve manually by applying the 12V directly? Or is that just a delay before the pump builds the pressure?

    @@ydocproductions5593 that's great to hear! I'm looking forward to it. I haven't dead head tested my HPOP yet because the crap Amazon kit I got had all the wrong fittings. My JIC/AN adapters should be arriving today, so I'll be able to test the pump and run compressed air through the heads to check for injector o-ring leaks as well. I also ordered a heavy duty Denso starter because my stock one can barely get the engine to crank more than 100RPM with fresh batteries after so much cranking during testing. I've been at this for months and SO badly want to be able to get my OBS back on the road, so I feel your pain!

    @@PolishSoul I know the feeling🤣! Ya when it comes to amazon parts for these Powerstrokes I haven’t had the best of luck (way to many cheap chinese made fakes out there). Sounds like you’re on the right track to fix your truck! Once you put air into the system to check for leaking orings it can take quite a while to restart the truck back up, so a new starter will definitely benefit you. The new video I was telling you about is up so I hope it’s helpful to get your truck running again. Good luck👍😀!

    Exactly! I didn’t want to just throw parts at it hoping it would work. Gets expensive pretty quick🤣. I don’t think I need to replace anything else while I’m in there. The glow plugs are in pretty good shape with the glow plug relay being replaced by the previous owner. Also the under valve cover harnesses are in great shape, so besides a 3” down pipe I just might be finished with the truck and simply enjoy it.👍

    Thank you! I’m not exactly sure the oil size port. What I did was buy a crossover HPOP line kit off eBay that had all the 45* and 90* degree fittings. I believe it’s an automotive thread, so I couldn’t find the right size fitting at my local hardware store.

    Check your fuel tank for oil. If an injector o-ring has failed the oil will go back to your fuel tank. The oil will sit above the diesel fuel so it’s easy to see. Also check the ICP sensor for oil leaking through the plastic due to cracking and soaking the electrical connection giving a false reading.

    That’s all great tips, but I’ve checked all of that. There’s zero oil in the fuel filter housing as well as zero oil leaked though into the icp wiring harness. I’ve been scratching my head for over a year on this problem. The only thing that makes sense now would be injector o-rings.

    @@ydocproductions5593, the oil won’t return to the filter housing. It’ll go back to the tank itself. You’d have to use a boroscope to see in the tank. If the injector o-rings are indeed leaking then you’d be losing it in the pan and can’t find where it’s going besides the tank. I had a few of those issues on school buses with the T444E engines. It could also be that big harness plug that goes across the driver’s side valve cover. I’ve had a few wires rub through and cause drivability issues.

Also checking out the wiring harness should be on my to-do list because I’m running out of ideas of what could possibly be wrong. So in theory, if it was the very top injector o-ring went bad there wouldn’t be any evidence of it it because it would leaking at the injector seat right?

    @@ydocproductions5593, if it was the very top injector o-ring then you see oil being forced up out of the injector bore. There’s actually 2 o-rings on that top injector o-ring seat but the one that commonly fails is the middle o-ring. If you pull the injector and all the o-rings are black then they’re all original and not the updated o-rings. The updated middle o-ring is pink and is a far better o-ring design than the original ones. The bottom one is orange.
