the dreadend immobiliser will prove to be a problem!
Find a place than can test the ecu, if they have diagnosed it on the basis that its all thats left that it could be then I wouldn't trust it.
Does it run ok once it has started?

It sounds like your throttle is sticking is it a there is a sensor between the air filter and the carb / injectors take that out and give it a clean hope this works Lee
