Okay, if it runs good with that disconnected, then the engine is running too rich. The extra air you get is helping smooth it out.
Have you checked fuel pump pressure? I'm wondering if you are getting too much pressure to the injector or if the temp sensor is bad.
The temp sensor tells the computer the ambient temp and the coolant temp. From that, the computer determines how rich or lean to make the fuel mixture. If the sensor tells the computer it's -40 degrees, it will dump fuel for the engine to run.
Also, did you check to make sure the catylatic converter is plugged?
Let me know.
