is it running good?

 

no it dont run very good white smoke and a mis and no power

 

P0230, lift pump electrical failure
P0216 Injection pump timing failure ( usually the electronics burning up)

Kind of sounds like your lift pump failed, failing your Injection pump. Sorry man.

 

Yep I have to agree with above seen this on two of my buddies vehicles

 

that sucks thanks guys its going to the shop next week new vp lift pump and a pressure gauge hopfully its fixes it

 

Dont put a oem lift pump on it and dont put the intank pump on it.

 

it has the in tank but as soon a i get the money to buy one im gonna go with probly a raptor been told thats a good pump

 

It is a good pump, but that in tank bugger is still going to cause you problems. The Raptor could have a hard time pulling fuel through the in tank pump, and running both pumps can cause excessive pressure. I did that once to get out of a bind. I had a block mounted pump, and a in tank pump, together they made 31 PSI at idle, at the injection pump.
If you feel you are capable to do the repairs yourself, you can save A LOT of money. Enough to buy a good lift pump, and a proper Draw Straw for your tank. There are a lot of good write ups and videos of how to change your injection pump.
