Some say to cut down on static electricity, others say it acts as a heat sink and still others say it's to keep it from coming off. I think it's some GM communication device to alien life forms through their OnStar system.

Things I learned in this thread:

1) The wire is prob to heat up the PCV valve.
2) NMB-LS1 takes OnStar way too seriously.
