Help guys...2months of trying but r53 wont start up

okay...
i was driving r53 6speed and suddenly lost power while cruising and then i found out that i cant rev up above 3000rpm in first gear or 2nd or 3rd or none...it started misfiring bad !!!

parked it in the garage and in the next morning i cant start up until the battery went dead trying to...

took it to the garage...the mechanic said its a bad fuel pump so i purchased a new one...fixed it and the condition still the same...cant start up until battery dead...

checked the leads...the plugs...msd coil pack...the sensors but nothing is wrong...


called my friend to bring in his r53...we changed the pump and the injectors + the sensors but it wont start up again
the mechanic guy had something similar to scan gauge and upon scanning it was showing no codes !!!

I REALLY AM LOST HERE...it been 2months... !!!!
any clues or should i just throw the car up from the hill

Did you change the fuel filter? If there is another thread, you really shouldn't start a new one. All old info is important and helps to minimize wasted posts.

Maybe even bad gas if you filled recently to the issue.
