    It's either an issue with the integrity of the wiring from the ecu to/ from the real control valve, or the valve itself has gone open circuit. Both result in the loss of control of the fuel rail pressure.

    If you can get to it, disconnect the multi plug on the valve and if it's got 2 pins only on the valve, use a multi meter to see if you get any resistance reading at all. This will diagnose if it is the valve circuit/coil in the sensor at fault or the wiring. You never know, some elective switch cleaner might be all what's required.
