that wire is probably the one that goes to the coil. maybe its misfiring because one of the wires in touching the header and got burnt, check the wires. also check the plugs wen i put mine it they came on getting loose had to tighten them 2 more times after installing them

had that also happen i have one burnt wire fix that. then my car would run rich as hell but run pretty fine then it would run so shitty i mean rpms were low no power car would shut up and it turned out to be the o2 sensor. how many miles you got on the car. i would change the o2 sensors anyways its like a tune up if you havent done that yet. another issue my buddy had the o2 sensor wire from the wiring harness touched the header and got burnt that could be another issue
