Default What does this wire do? MYSTERIOUS!

OK theres this wire (pictured below) and its bridged from the injectors.
its a spade wire and when i hook it up into the slots going to the distributer (pictured below) my tachometer stops moving (it never works anyway, keeps hopping) and when i hook it up to the other slot it kills the car. it also disables the VTEC when its hooked up to the 2 slots. so ive no clue what it does. maybe you guys can tell me.

It looks like the car had an autostart from the previous owner. Autostart alarms need to see a tach wire to function. Maybe they hooked it up wrong
