That's one of the engine grounds. You better fix that problem.

If one of your grounds isn't hooked up, then you run the possibility of an engine fire because the other one will have too much electricity running through it.

Aww Come on Bauley... Dont scare the guy he is still a newb... LOL

But anyway... You should hook up ALL grounds because they are very important to your engines performance... I don't mean those stupid ground kits, But factory ground reference is very important to sensor accuracy, go outside and hook that bad boy back up.. Honda-Tech Orders!!!!LOL

BTW Just guess why many people with a hondas have hunting idles (up-down-up-down) Hint-hint its related to this topic... Good luck!!
