Above 0 what, the speedometer? Do you have a check engine light on? If this happened right after the repairs I would call the garage that did the work and tell them. It sounds like they left one of the main computer grounds off which is common. Here is a guide to help get the codes

I have marked the ground locations that need to be checked in the wiring diagrams below. Please let us know what happens, I am interested ;)
