Default possibly one of the dumbest moves ever

so lets say one took off his throttle body (unhooked all sensors & hoses) to get to the FITV for cleaning and then laid the throttle body with the sensors still on the tb over the battery.. both - & + terminals connect via the tb and sparks everywhere! think the sensors are damaged or anything else for that matter? hypothetically of course

Look for damage where the arcing was. Holes burned into any gasket surface to make a vacuum leak??

You'll find out soon enough about the sensors, it'll throw CEL codes for that.
