injectors leaking anywhere ??
did you take off the whole fuel rail and all pipes ?
did you put it back together properly ?
what injectors are they
are the clips on the corresponding injectors ?

The battery light would suggest possibly a dodgy ground. Did you disturb the engine grounds?
yes i did but i checked them and i think there all back on again?, but also might add i did spray abit of wd40 about most of the engine, and also i checked for leaks and nothin, and the revs are sittin at 800, cuts out more when turning.

why lol i hope you got it all cleaned off properly lol - if not it will make the engine bay mucky as it is "spray oil" lol
"spray oil" lol
i done it to clear off some of the water from jet washin the fuel off, think i might of sprayed abit on the alternator belt not sure, also like to add the light wasnt there into i got to the garage while running on empy tank, and once i got fuel i opened her up and then it started popping, and i had to rev to keep the car running at stand still./

i had this problem when i did my o rings it was the ground for the injector rail... it was loose as i forgot to tighten up up properly. make sure the ground is nice and tight you should find it on the left hand side of the intake manifold. im sure it sits under a solinoid of some sort. also make sure you dont have any liquid in the top of the injectors where the caps sit as this will cause a short between the 2 pins on the injectors
just checked them and they seem dry ish, but when i wobble 1 injector fuel comes out?, but that wouldnt explain the battery and the other one between the seat belt 1, also lookin about i dont think i took any earth off on the fuel rail.
well cant u get any closer dont want to risk it

Has your alternator failed? have you checked it with a meter?

jeatwashed it sounds to me like you got water in your ignition system ....happens everytime it stutters and cuts out or revs and dies anyway if its been yetwashed it needs drying will it run on tick over if so leave it half hour to dry out or remove ht leads and spray wd in the connectors to try and disperse the water
