test for proper spark , fuel pressure , see if injectors are firing , scan for codes , might have to get those off the dash board by watching a flashing light ,

I don't know what it's for but that kind of thing is not uncommon if it has a disconnect ,, if it is bare and could ground out on something that could be suspicious
