it has been known mate, we had an escort gti in, jumped it one day when battery was flat and it never run right again-we had to swap the ecu and keys in the end-that sorted it! seems strange that it only occured after the jump, an ecu specialist told us that you should only jump with a "spike/surge" protected leads.

cant really agree with craig,
ONLY on the basis if the alternator was sending 14+v to battery, car shoudl run fine
check leads (both ends, and all sensor plugs
