It's for the fuel injectors which are right under that center engine cover.

I've never unsheathed this particular wire but if it's like all the other GND wires then 12-16gauge multi-strand copper wire would be what you are looking for.
You should be able to find a good substitue at somewhere like Autozone.

Yea, for ground wires, stranded is always better than solid core
