Sounds like the BeCM will need to be re-synced to the Engine ECU....

This can be done using a Sync-Mate if you know of someone nearby who has one...

Also check the Fuel Pump Relay and Fuse...also (seems strange) check the fuse box under the bonnet for a smell of burning which can indicate relay failure or poor connections in the fuse box.

Would go better with a 2.5

Yes Synchmate is the way to start it OR a Testbook/T4

Sounds like you have a duff RF receiver that is keeping the BECM awake which was the start of you problem flattening the battery. Now either the battery voltage is too low or as has been said it's lost sync.
