lots of engines die when you disconnect the battery. have you tested the output of the alternator! how do you know it is faulty

Does the injector pump have a 'power on' solenoid!

Well, if it doesn't die with battery in, why disconnect it!

You take your alternator out (if it is faulty), take it to the auto sparky for reconditioning. Or, just buy a new one.

Yep that's why i said "lots of" and not all of.
Again though, have you tested the alternator! Is the battery going flat! I don't know anyone who checks an alternator by disconnecting battery and seeing if the engine stops

removing the battery while it runs can actuarly damage the alternator regulator maybe that how you rooted your alternator! or welding with battery attached is another methode to root a laternator.
