is your service engine soon light on? It could be a lot of things.

Does it cut off when you step on the gas? and what year is your car

That might be why your engine runs like crap. That wire is for a MAF sensor. You're not supposed to bypass it.

Sorry, but what's with people not knowing how to use proper puntuation? And as if that weren't bad enough, TYPING IN ALL CAPS AND GOING ON WITHOUT USING PUNCUATION IS EVEN MORE ANNOYING I MEAN REALLY IS IT THAT HARD TO USE A COMMA OR PERIOD EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE DAMN
