if it was the immobiliser, it wouldn't turn over. thinking maybe cam sensor, but faulty injectors can also cause starting problems.

have they had it connected to test book (or similar) ?

ready to be corrected but....

the immobiliser works by using a chip in the key, with a search coil around the ignition barrel. when the coil sees the chip, it allows the car to start.

have you tried the other key ? (not teaching you to suck eggs, but...)

when it's turning over, try easy start into the air inlet. I know i know I KNOW it's a bad thing, but if it then starts and runs, it will give you a pointer, could be injector or cam sensor.
