If the two black ones are the ones your talking about and IF they are going to pins 2R, 3A and 3G, then yes. you can tie them all together and ground them as on one ground lug.

I think that is what I'm seeing in the picture. Two black wire coming together in a splice and leaving as one wire and the other black wire over there by itself makes three.

Right now they ground on the top of the engine on a single lug. Adding another ground won't hurt. I put mine on the ECU bracket hold down stud.

I might be wrong, but I think it's the shielded signal wire for the AFM or the O2 sensor.

It's the shield for the O2 if its center conductor is going to pin 2D. It gets grounded. The shield that is, not the center conductor.
