Default fule pressure drops

ok I hope I am getting close to getting this thing fixed.
but the problem I have now is that when i first turn the key on the pressure jumps up to neer 50 but soon as the pump shuts off it drops rapidly and will only come back up if i crank the motor over.

What could cause the pressure to drop like that?

I had no problems with the pressure befor but had a bad injector so I took it all apart and replaced the injector put it all back together and now it just cranksand dose not start.

Default RE: fule pressure drops

The pressure is under control of the pressure regulator, and is supposed to drop about 10 PSI after the engine starts. However; it is supposed to hold at the lower pressure once the engine is turned off. There could be a bad check valve in the fuel pump, a bad pressure regulator, a leaky injector, or a plain old fuel leak.
