What they did was very, very risky, and if you're very lucky everything will still work fine once it's wired back up correctly. They should have just replaced your speed sensors and called it a day. They should never have been inside the car, or fired up the engine, period.

I still think when they cut the wire they left it dangling and / or maybe rewired it wrong. (At first)

But I can see bad things happened if a circuit were completed without it properly being insulated and having it ground out.

Again this would be the throttle position sensor grounding out.
