    It's nothing to worry about - I think it's just the radio noise supressor

    I'd look to get one from the scrappy, cut it off half way along the wire, and solder the complete one on.

    A good solder technique and heatshrink and it'll be fine

    Mine broke same thing, car wouldnt start at all. I think its something to do with the earth on the coilpack.

    It's not the earth for coil pack it is a noise supressor. It stops the radio picking up interference from alternator and spark plugs basically. Without it you might hear a whining or crackling that increases pitch with engine speed.

    I went for months without one.

    Could just hear a slight whine through the stereo.
