Found My Problem! How Do I Fix It?

Alright folks, over the past month ive been unable to drive my car, for the simple fact that I would be driving and my car would start surging uncontrollably and would even die a couple of times, the speedo would also start spitting out random numbers (STOCK Digital Dash)

So, with my car running, I started to jiggle and wiggle every wire I could find to see if any was loose or unplugged, well, I started to get up to the coil of the car, (Been replaced with a "Blaster Coil" , I jiggled a wire near it, I immediately here a loud PSHHHHH sound, like a HUGE static shock would sound like, and my engine Immediately shut off.

My question now is, I know which wires are causing a problem, but I dont know where they lead to or where it's shorting at, there's also two plugs on this wire that connect into one another, how do I go about replacing the wires so my car will stop shorting out?

Well if the wire shorted out once you wiggled it, there is a posibility that the short could be very close to where you wiggled it. I would run through the whole wire (just follow it) and I am sure you will find it.
