Where does this wire go?

While pulling plugs 2-4-6-8 (pax side) I managed to remove a green wire, it looks like something broke off of it. Is it an Oxygen sensor? I followed the wire and it hooks up to the TPS on my E4ME.

It looks like its broken.

No; the carb cars only have that one. No ECM input.
