You'd need a new starter for sure. However, I would *guess* that you would hear a continuous whine from the starter motor while the car is running in this case (cre, please correct me if I'm wrong about that).
Given you haven't heard any new noises/sounds since your brother messed with the ignition key while running...I would suggest your next troubleshooting step should be a standard check for vacuum leaks. You can do this with a smoke machine or by pressurizing your intake system. Some folks even use a can of ether and spray near the intake system to check for leaks - for obvious reasons this isn't my top choice of troubleshooting procedure.
When your mechanic said "codes are normal", what
exactly did he mean? In fact, *any* code at all is
abnormal...
