Power loss and harder starting when warm

[AbeDomeNuS]

Hello! I got a bmw e36 with a m52b20 swap, lately it started giving me headaches.... First off it started to stall out when in neutral or clutched in, then it stopped after a week doing so but then came even greater problems.... When the engine reaches operating temperature it has almost no power, hillclimb or even just a slight uphill is a nightmare, not possible to pull, just barely in 2nd gear.... The rev limiter hits at 5200rpm and then it feels like the car cuts off the ignition.... When the engine is warm, it starts more rough and it needs more cranks... There is even a sound from the camshaft if there were stuck hydraulic lifters, the so known ticking, which is getting worse as the engine warms up

MAF is ok

No VAC leaks (tested with smoke)

CKS shows healthy 586-601ohms resistance

CPS shows 14ohms resistance

Any help would be appreciated because the worst problem is that I am unable to find a mechanic with a Diagnostic tool where I live....

at a guess I would suspect fuel pump or crank position sensor even cam position sensor

Which sensors would be wise to buy, except OEM because they cost hell of a lot in Croatia, cks costs around 150€ and cps costs around 135€...
