P0270 is #4 injector = second cylinder on driver's side
P0279 is #7 injector = fourth cylinder on passenger's side

The ficm is detecting an open or low injector circuit on both injectors. This could mean the coil on the injector is going bad. Coolant is not the issue with the injector problem. The white smoke and running rough is because the two injectors are not firing properly. You can test each injector circuit for continuity and will tell you if the injectors are toast with a voltmeter. You just have to remove the injector plug at each location on the inboard side of the rocker box.

You don't have to do heads and egr right now. All you have to do is figure out why the two injectors are failing. It may not be anything expensive to fix, but driving it with injectors not pumping properly you will likely have additional problems later.
