My 86 5000CS Turbo also has several short wires attached at the ECM that 
are "cut cleanly". I would not recommend connecting "ANY" wires to ground 
without understanding the internal workings of the ECM. It is not unusual 
to find many loose cables or connectors under the hood or under the dash. 
Some of these connectors are for test purposes, others are for accessories 
not installed on that particular model. I have seen more than a few wiring 
harnesses cooked by customers thinking they were "fixing" the car by 
connecting those loose cables.
