Honda Accord not starting.
Discussion
OK, so here's where I am with this problem:
2000 Honda 3.0 V6 Coupe. It has broken down with the immobiliser light flashing. Was working perfect before now just spins but will not fire. Everyone (RAC who attended, Google and other forums) agree it is a fault with the immobiliser, which is inside the ECU. I found a specialist and sent off the ECU, both keys and the ring around the barrel. They tested it....and found no fault. Returned it, I have refitted it....but it is still immobilised.
I don't know what to do next. It's my partner's car, she loves it and is very upset it's broken. I can't keep throwing money at it and it really is too good to scrap: it drives great! (this fault aside of course). The battery was tested, that's OK.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I will gladly give beer tokens to anyone who comes up with any idea to get it going, or indeed if you'd like to have a look I would be forever in your debt (I'm near Chagford, Devon). Lots of tea and biscuits if anyone could come and kick the tyres and suck their teeth.

Thanks for the replies, especially:
Thanks
and a double thanks from my partner who thought her P&J was only to be sold for spares/repair

If you're still stuck, speak to Andy @ VTEC Direct. He's incredible with not only Hondas, but Accord specifically. Has gotten me out of a pickle many times!
Called VTEC, they have given me the confidence they can fix it for a sensible figure. The car is now being recovered to them.Thanks
