How's the fuel pressure? When you tuned it up what exactly did you do?
The wire you're talking about doesn't sound factory.
Always post as much information about your truck when you ask a question - we don't know year, model, or even make.

If It is a little 2"x2" flat plactic plate then it is part of the alarm system.It is hooked up to the alarm system on my truck and it drove me nuts until i traced the wires back to it.Unforturnity when i got my truck it did not come with the remote to turn it on and off.But if you have one try it .if not then we are in the same boat.If you can get one let me know.
good luck

We really need the codes or we're just guessing at what the problem is.
Try this diagram: Ford Computer Codes
You don't need to run a wire to the battery, or even the test light. All you need is the jumper wire between the signal return and the self-test input. The CE light will blink the codes at you.
A much easier way is to buy a code-reader. I have an Innova 3145 and it makes reading codes super easy.
