A mate dropped his key and lost the chip. The car wouldn't start at all so I doubt thats your problem.
Get a proper diagnostics done. Maybe your mates computer is out of date or he didn't know what he was doing. Not trying to bad mouth him, just saying its a possibility as its happened to me before.

THe chance to loose the chip is minimal ... but not impossible... it could be sensor, fuse.. ...

If it starts then cuts out then that sounds like the immobiliser, mine did thesame thing when I accidentally cut one of the wires from the transponder. Is the engine management light on constantly or does it flash? Flashing indicates an immobilser fault.
