Default car is running really rich and dies when you let off the throtle

I found a wire that came loose from where I dont know. I can't find where it was connected. The wire is grey with yellow stripe. I cant find that wire in the wire diagrams. I think that it has something to do with the engine idling up and down then dieing if you give it throtle and let off. So does anyone have any idea what is going on? Please I need some help. The honda dealership wont help me because the car has been turboed and has a hondata.

It is a single wire that I found hanging near the distributor. I traced it back to the firewall under the clutch resevior.

has someone spliced in a wire for an aftermarket tach? thats all i can think of, dont see why it would be by itself out of the harness like that.
