actually not the injectors but you have to be careful not to put
voltage spikes into the system that will effect the engine control unit
(computer).  the warning is all over certain bosch and vw manuals to
make sure all grounds are in place to prevent that kind of damage.
they list 3 or 4  ground points that should be inspected regularly.
battery ground, engine to tranny, engine to frame, and a accessory
panel ground.  any system  with a computer you also never disconnect
the battery with the engine running
