well firstly tell the garage that its pretty unacceptable and they need to sort it asap, and i hope their making an effort to find out why as its not your responsibility to do so.

not gonna be very easy to give suggestions unless a bit more information is given. is it turning over?is it firing? is there power? etc

yes it it turning over but it wont start but it will start if the squirt easy start into the throttle body and the fuel pump works if the connect a wire straight to the battery but there doesnt seem to be any fuel going to the engine

If its a new engine im guessing its a new ECU too?

I reccon its the imobilizer, your key needs to be coded to your ecu. If the key shows the wrong code for the ecu it wont turn on the fuel pump thus imobilizing the engine
