Cut it and soldier a piece in there to make it longer. Wrap it in shrink wrap and it will look like it came that way.

That is a weird image... are you sure that cable connects between those two points with arrows? the lower/front connector appears to me to be the O2 Sensor connector... which goes back to the fuse / ECM area... it does not connect to anything in that Fuel injection area... I suggest you get all the cables loose and retrace that cable to their real destination and then reroute it under the tank..

Weird. I did the coil relocation not long ago and I don't remember moving a cable/wire like that.
