Put it back, see if it makes any difference...probably not looking at the symptoms.

If the earth issue isn't the problem, I'd post again describing the symptoms.

You now need to re-post under a different heading, something like, "Car won't pull under 4000rpm" etc.
You'll get more answers.........very few people answer about electrics, so earthing issue will put them off.

Best.
