I think you have already found the problem, why would the ECU, keys and barrell all be loose in the car???

Answer? It's had an issue with lost/stolen unprogrammed keys most likely. Just disconnecting the Battery will not cure an engine immobiliser issue, I suspect that the key/ECU combination is not right and the car is now immobilised. There are a lot of locksmiths out there that can re-programme the ECU/Keys to suit, strangely, your dealer is unable to do it for you

ya i can smell petrol from the engine and the sparkplugs are not wet . . its just that there is no spark . if the immobiliser was on , should the engine turn ?
