Well the other day i poped my hood and i found a loose wire. If you look at pic 5 you can see a plug right thier. My best guess it goes thier but i cant see any where else where it would go. So if you guys have anycluse help me out. IF you know what the wire does then that woudl be a great help.

That is not a ground it is a capacitor i think. Used for noise suppression, get a new one, this is not a ground.

It's just like said above... it's a noise suppresion capacitor...
It basically stops noise and whine from your engine elctronics, i.e. plugs, plug wires and alternator, from getting into the wiring or from being picked up as a whine by your stereo...

My car is running without it if it makes you feel any better...
I lost mine, too lazy to get a new one.

The car WILL run fine without it... and I have NO noise problems. :)
