If starting with starting fluid check fuel pressure with a gauge in US auto parts rent it. You may need an adapter as well to test. See link.

The security system isn't the problem
The etc light is on and after clearing all fault codes it stays on

It depends if it is an interference engine or not. If it's an interference engine then you are going to h ave bent valves if not it will be ok. But we have no info on this car so can't tellyou
