Default Car keeps cutting off???

Ok wife car 92ls400 trying to figure out why the motor cuts off at idle or while drivivg,been doing it for the past 2 days.ok theres these wires next to the passenger valve cover 'ill post pics' and if i move the wires then the car will start up again? But then while its running i messed with the wires again to see if will do anything and it cuts off like i asumed,so im guessing what ever the wires are or a wire is its causing the problem because its loose or positioned wrong?? So can anyone tell me if the wires belong to some kind of power wire to the distributor or any other wire that you know that im pointing out could make this problem to happen?

I was having a similar problem a year or so and thought it was my fuel pump but took it to the shop.and they said the power wire to the ecu was loose so im thinking could one of these wires be my ecu power wire????

I think that bundle has wires for things like cam sensors, coil, temp sensors and maybe crank sensor, I'm not real sure what all is in it. Unless it was bent around I would think the wires are fine it maybe just a connector with some corrosion or bad contact.
