How do you know this..?? Did the learns complete successfully..?? They don't normally throw a fault code unless the SCV itself has an electrical fault.

P037D is a glow plug fault. P2148 is an injector electrical issue.

I’ve tested pcv as you suggested took pipe off nothing comes out I’ve taken scv out and connected it which seems fine I’ve checked wiring to injectors and to ecu I’ve checked earths starting to think it’s ecu itself going to get multimeter today and try and do some checks but can only follow what people tell me to check

Did you complete the learns successfully..??

The SCV may be "electrically ok" but the internal metering valve can be sticking in it's bore....which can possibly be causing your issue.

No the learns didn’t complete because of the fault the lad who was doing it with me has now given up I’ve bought a multimeter but have no idea what I’m doing with it I’ve checked loads of the loom yesterday and couldn’t find anything wrong he said the scv was fine and he had took it out and it all worked properly and that it’s either a injector or the ecu so that’s we’re I’m upto when I plug it in now it has more faults because learns did not complete I only drove it 200 yards and it cut out I’m getting to the point of a gallon of petrol and a match sounds the best solution

Unless the learns complete successfully, it will "never" run properly. All powertrain faults need to be rectified and erased before the learns will complete. You mentioned a fault P2148, this is an injector wiring/electrical issue, check all the wires to/from/in the connectors for breaks or shorts...or one of your injectors is faulty. P037D is a glow plug issue, possibly a duff glow plug/s or the loom/relay etc to them is not well.

SCV may look and work fine out of the pump, but under the load of 1000bar+ of fuel pressure they can and do fail....regularly.

Unlikely to be the PCM, (although anything is possible), it's usually the wiring/connectors or earths to/from them which cause grief. Mk7 Transits don't have an ECU, they have a Powertrain Control Module.

I doubt the injector fault is causing it to cut out, it would just misfire on that cylinder, and likely put the Red Light of Despair on.

If the pump learn hasn't passed - which it ought to do, even with a duff injector - the SCV is a likely culprit. How did your 'Transit Expert' test the current one? Just dabbing the wires across a battery is not how they are calibrated in the pump. Just fit a new Ford one, if it hasn't failed, it's going to soon enough, and you will have eliminated the usual cause of stalling after over-run conditions.

Folk are trying to advise you as you have asked, yet you seem intent on pop gunning parts at it without heeding the advice you've asked for.

Everything I’ve fitted is what I’ve been told to fit every thing that’s been tested has been tested by a mechanic I have no idea what I’m doing and don’t profess to just looking for answers to a problem he took out the scv and checked it however he does I don’t know but he said it’s fine

He said he thinks it’s a Brocken wire so I took it to another garage which also said it’s a broken wire or the pcm but doesn’t have the time to do it that’s we’re Iam upto

Not wanting to be confrontational in any way here.

You've taken it to a 'mechanic', you've chucked parts at it, it's not fixed.

You've posted on this 'ere forum, several have advised you to change a part you have yet to change - a part which is commonly known to cause the issues you have, and no one here knows how you would bench 'check' it other than the pump learn going though OK - it's not fixed.

I trust you can see why we are advising you to fit a new, from Ford/PF Jones, SCV.
