The only reason I ask this mate is that by removing the battery you have mabe reset the ECU (I say mabe because I am not familiar with Simtek) and cleared any fault codes you had and that is why the car now starts not because you have changed the plugs if you get my meaning.

No it will not have any effect on the map only the fault (volatile) memory, did you say the car was running now though or have I missed a post, I really dont mean to be so nosey but I am always interested in faults and how they are resolved.
