Default listening to fuel rail up clos



i was using a long screwdriver to listen to the fuel rail and i can hear the inectors ticking nicely but every few seconds i hear what sounds like a quick spray... is that a sticky injector and could that be contributing to my low mpg? my fuel gauge also loses pressure when i shut down the motor ,and what is the fuel guage supposed to display with vacuum on and the car at idle?</P>
