If the shop disconnected your battery to replace sensors, they were following actual, professional proceedure. Especially when someone tells them there is something so screwed up in the electrical system that you want them to jumper it or not disconnect the battery while they're working on it.

Whatever the hell these "IM monitors" are, I suggest you start by removing them and fixing whatever electrical nightmare you created when installing them.

Sorry.


EDIT:
If this is all just to say that you have all kinds of CELs and the car runs like shit when it's cold, go to Autozone and buy a replacement CLT. It's the temp sensor for the coolant that the ECU reads for determining AFR. When these go, they tend to tell the ECU it's below freezing, in which case the car runs like crap during start up.

There are two sensors under the radiator cap. One is for the gauge, the other for the ECU. Replace the one for the ECU. Hell, replace them both. It's less than $40 and fifteen minutes work to replace them both.

Good luck to you.
