If that's the right wire, and it sounds very likely, grounding it would have 
kept the engine running lean, which might have been okay if it was tending to 
run rich for some other reason. I'd watch for it to be rich now that you've 
fixed it, so you will want to be checking for things that might have caused 
rich running, like low charging system voltage.
