Default Rough Idle afte warm up

after my car runs in the city for about 20 minutes the RPM gauges stops working and when I am at a stop light it has a rough idle and it only happens when the RPM gauge is not working. It gets worse when I push the clutch. I was checking another problem by changing injectors and this happened after that. would that be the problem? The car runs good before the RPM gauge stops working. The RPM gauge will then start working again off and on.

Any suggestions?

Is your voltage ok? That sounds a little like what can happen when the alternator is dying, it went out on my other car and the tach would periodically drop to zero with the engine running. Just a thought.
