I would continue with the injector harness definatly sounds like that, try wiggling the injector wires while it is running and see if you can't get it to duplicate

You need to get the pins for the connector and then lengthen the wire and replace the pins. The tight harness sometimes causes the wire to pull from the crimp on the terminal.

Also don't forget to check your motor mount too. That can cause excess movement in the motor pulling on the harness
