There are a lot of wires there. Have you checked to see where that wire goes? Also, when it doesn't start, is it completely dead or does the starter work?

Let me know.

I looked at some schematics. If it is dark green with a red tracer, it runs to the ignition switch, dark green with white tracer, fuel pump relay... There are a bunch of other green wires with different color tracer colors. Check to see if it is solid green (which I can't find) and if it has a tracer color, what color is the tracer.
