Found a broken wire (black) where the third injector plug is. seems the blue and gray wires there are ok. So the harness going to that plug has a third wire any thoughts on what this wire is or where it ties in.

After searching may have found it. A shielding wire to ground. Also some have found the same wire snipped. Still wondering if it should be connected?

I'm new to these cars but spent 14 yrs fixing military aircraft. When you find a wire like that they normally are for stray voltage discharge to a case ground or for voltage induction to discharge to case ground. F16's use them everywhere....nice find hope that helps
