Default My Car died, any help is appreciated!

I was on my way to my brother in laws place and right before I get there, the throttle starts losing its response and the car dies down and cant turn on. I just bought the car from some dude who slapped on the Z6 head without hooking up the VTEC. BCAA came and towed the car back to my dads place and it seems we have sparks on all the spark plug wires. I filled up the tank of gas for the first time after fixing my overheating (broken rad hose problem) and after driving 50 miles the needle didnt drop... Does anyone have any idea of what happend and what needs to be fixed?

Thanks. Ray from: http://raymobilemechanic.com said its the head gasket without even looking at it.

Theres spark but maybe no fuel to combust. Could it be the fuel pump, clogged injectors?

How do you know theres no fuel? Have you cracked the fuel line to see if theres fuel at the rail? Check the dipstick to see if the oil is milky, a dead ringer that the HG is gone. COMPRESSION TEST as well.

This happens alot, you'll still get spark just not at the right time. To check your head
gasket with the car cold open the radiator make sure its full crank the car and see
if bubbles come out of the radiator.
