Unhappy idles strange

I just got some work done on my front end, it was bad, they had to pull my motor to replace the front cross member, my motor stardted running starange, idle fast, kill out, etc. I started looking closely under the hood, when they put the motor in, the neg. batt cable had been worrn to the wire by the belt, another section of it was close to the exhaust manifold, and had melted to the wire, and one spark plug wire was on the other exhaust manifold, partially melted. I moved all of these wires from the offending areas, reset my PCM to defaults, but it still idles strange, anybody know what mighta got fried?
