Could be a single injector, plug or coil pack would be my guess as it doesn't say multi-cylinder issues.  Worth checking the fuel filter too in case it needs replacement and is crudded up?

Have you tired clearing the codes and seeing if they come back in the first instance?

your code reader says 2b2a is fuel pressure related?
Shouldnt that be Idling speed control valve initialisation?
I think your issue may be linked to throttle actuators?

I had some minor parking damage repaired to my F10 M5 and whilst it didn't have much fuel in when I dropped it off it had bugger all in when I picked it up  >:D

I ran out of fuel ¾'s mike from the Coachworks which didn't go down very well!

Cut a long story short the car took half an hour to get going again and threw up exactly the same faults as you have however once it had a good flow of fuel it was all back to normal. I think at one point I was deep in the brown smelly stuff but it seemed to sort itself out.

Has the car run since you filled it up?

Hi

Yes the car starts and drive but has no power, think the fuel pump or hpfp needs doing
