.
Car is K11, totally standard, 95 1.0.
Has ran perfectly forever until Jan this year. Had stood for 3 months & battery low. Went through normal catalog of recharging, starting logic & replaced all usual suspects : HT's, Dist Cap, Rotor, Plugs even bought (but not changed Mass air sensor). Also read about the Throttle body rebuild. In the end saw an article (I think on here) about ECU resetting (5 turns of key then on 6th start). To my amazement it worked & car has been spot on for months. Cant find article now but guy who wrote it is a hero.
Car started coughing & stumbling in traffic. Turns out to be a bad (new) HT lead. Changed the offending one & problem solved.
Then couple months back it was stolen. Was recovered but locks all smashed. Bought new ignition key and lock, Fitted it and all fine after.
Just disconnected battery to do a little cosmetic welding on reconnection, the alarm goes off & car won't start.
Any ideas from anyone would be very welcome.
Many thanks in advance
