Pretty sure all 2.6 /3.2 codes begin with a 0     may be worth having a double check on the pedal trick code readout  :-\

0335 would be a prime suspect here IMO

Unless you have put a clean fill of fuel into the tank I doudt if 7 month old will be helping the cause .

Worth rigging up a clean fuel feed from a metal jerry can and see if that produces better results.

A ggod start requires decent plugs /good charge in battery and a clean source of fresh fuel

Classic immobiliser issue... basically the chip in the key is either missing or wrong...

so the immobilizer only cuts the spark and not the fuel

Try this  . . . sit in the car  . . turn ignition on . . push a  key fob button to do a central  locking reset ( doors lock & then open again)

Take key out  . .  get out of the car & lock using the fob  . . . then unlock using the fob  . . .get in & try to start the car .

Might seem strange  . . .but it has fixed a few with this problem   . . .mine included  ;)
