2008 TL base sounded like a motorcycle

I have a 2008 Acura TL base auto and one day after work I was driving down the highway and went to accelerate around some traffic and all of a sudden it started to sound different. I looked down at my gauges and it wasn’t Revving like it was supposed to be (I also think it was in limp mode it would only go to about 3000 rpms and when I would get it to go faster it would kinda go into neutral). So I pulled off the highway and it sounded like a motorcycle. I could barley keep it running and it wouldn’t idle. I got it towed home and the truck driver left my cars ignition turned on so my battery died and I don’t have any codes now. I have checked the cams timing and they are in time I replaced the spark plugs and it still won’t start. It will turn over and every once and a while you will hear it fire one one cylinder but it just won’t start. I’ve tried using starting fluid too see if it was a fuel issue and still nothing. I’m kinda lost and don’t know what to do I just need help I’m desperate I have a child coming in 2 weeks and it’s my only vehicle

I do remember having a catilitic converter code but it would come on every time it rained so I would just ignore it and after the rain was dried up the light and code would go away but that is the only code I’ve ever gotten on the car sence I’ve owned it.

any and all advice would be greatly appreciated

Edit:

I also turned it over with all the spark plugs out and it sounded healthy no clacking no knocking and no hesitation. It would just keep turning over smoothly until I would stop it
