Been there done that!
Hope this is a fix for you.
I found one of the injector ground wires under the intake air
distribution was off, it contacted with gravity most of the time but made
the engine Hiccup occasionally. Really got bad a few times.
I'd suggest that you check these wires and add an engine ground.
