Goes to coil 1 which I was having an issue with, misfire. Will continue tracing where the wire goes to.

looks like a coil pack plug and they tapped into the firing wire. Probably used for the nitrous RPM window switch or similar device.

remote car start or immobilizer system.

whoever installed it didnt know what they were doing. That wire goes under the dash, no need to run it all the way to the coil pack.

Nitrous window switch uses engine rpm to determine when to spray or not.
