have you had your alternator voltage checked? It could be the voltage regulator inside it is on its way out. If it has been checked and comes up good, I would look into seeing if you have a short some where.

your injectors have nothing to do with it - check your belt for wear or glossing and as MAGGZ said have your alt checked it more than likely has something to do with your charging system
