That thing circled is the crankcase ventilation system orifice, and that's a hose not a wire.

Air is drawn into the valve cover through the front fitting Which gets air from the air cleaner. It then mixes with crankcase fumes and is drawn out trough that rear fitting into the intake or throttle body to be burned off. If left off it would cause a vacuum leak, as well as cause oil fumes making a mess on the engine.
You can buy new grommets/fittings at the dealer or at the auto parts store.
