We replaced the ignition coils, air filter cleaned out the injectors with cleaner. We noticed when we popped the hood near the fuse box there was a thin wire not sure what it goes to. I been reading on here and someone said it could be apart of the positive terminal wire? Dang wish I could get a photo right now but it's too dark.
