Ground strap?
After finding that broken strap, I would recommend locating and inspecting/cleaning any other grounds you can find. You should also check vacuum hose conditions. Vacuum makes things run happy as do clean grounds.
I feel it is worth noting that one of my previous cars (99 Dodge Avenger) tried to kill me due to a broken ground strap. It must have been a primary engine ground strap that broke, but it instead routed the ground through my throttle cable, which "welded" at near WOT due to heat while I was in town.
Lesson: Grounds are important.
