Electrical taping a ground wire...

Electrical taping a ground wire...
Is this a good Idea or not? I have a wire that seems to be the problem of all my issues. It is long, steel braided. I am thinking about taping it with electrical tape so if it makes contact with a metal surface, it wont affect anything.

If its a ground wire, why would there be a problem if it touched a "metal surface"? All the metal surfaces should already be grounded, and at the same potential as the ground wire.

The ground wire is long, it can potentially try grounding to another point if I run over a bump and it sways....there is much play in the wire...

my car threw all kinds of codes....lean, est grnd, misfired, and when I adjusted this wired, it was fine. Last night took the car out and ran great wth the wire tucked away. Grounds=problems when not grounded correctly.
