Kinda sounds like the issue I had with my 01 Boxster S. However, after sending my key, immobilizer, and ECU in for repair, the car now runs. Here is a video on how my car acted before the fix.

Water damaged immobilizer? How? The car looks like it hasn't seen a wet sponge or a drop of water since, well, 2001.

I sent mine off and it still did not work this is the results

"The control unit following repairs has been completely bench tested, as well as burn in tested on the test bench for 48 hours without glitches.

The ACU and DME are reporting that the system is not immobilised when both the keys remotes are used on the bench test jig, It also is unlocking and locking the car, as well as activating the luggage and boot release.

I have also lacquered the main circuit board to protect it a little more than standard, but obviously you need to make sure the drains are completely clear on the car of any debris... Once you think they are clear, please pour boiling water from a kettle down them, as this will kill and clear any remaining growths of moss or mould."
