Two auto electricians no faults
Changed itms so far
Injectors (was coded)
3 high pressure fuel pumps
Rail pressure sensor
Rail pressure regulator
Cam sensor
Crank sensor
Volume regulator
Low pressure fuel pump
Fuel filter
Swapped cas ecu and key with wrking one
Intake manifold with throttle valve

Still no start only with easy start it runs but fuel nock is heard and engine dies and backfires thru intake then just cranks again

Also checked cam chains and timming found everything spot on

Any help please

have not worked on any of these cars yet but had similar issue on a different car but have a look at this.
Is there a pump inside the tank ? If yes, next Question, Does it have a pipe inside the tank from pump to a connection point ? If yes, check that pipe, put some pressure on it and see if it leaks, I had this problem on a car, replaced a ton of stuff two different pumps just to find that pipe was leaking fuel back into the tank, if it makes sense.
