gentleman,

my RRS TDV8 is going into limp mode. i've pulled the codes


P117E-00 (2E) Fuel volume regulator control exceeded minimum control limit .


the fault started about 2-3 months ago and would only happen in the first 5min of a cold start if i had a full fuel tank.
now its happening every day regardless of fuel level.
no obvious issues just before it happens. turn car off, on again, continue driving like normal.

no idea where to start looking.

From the WSM

Control Exceeded Minimum
Control Limit
Fuel volume control valve
circuit fault
Fuel volume control valve

Check the fuel volume control valve and circuits.
Refer to the electrical guides. Check the resistance of
the valve and install a new high pressure fuel pump if
the resistance is not between 1.5 and 15 ohms (the
fuel volume control valve cannot be serviced
separately). Clear the DTCs and test for normal
operation.

You might want to use a cleaning additive to your fuel in case the valve is gummed-up and just needs a good clean.
