can an injector become stuck open:? also how to check for this?
ok additional update....
typically my fuel presure guage holds fuel presure for at least 2-3 days if i dont crank it,,... since my problems i have noticed that it seems to drop really fast...but i dont notice any fuel around the injectors....is it posible for an injector to become "stuck " open, there for running ruff and acting odd, also if it was flooding the cylinder (#3 looked more wet on the plugs then others) a flooding injector wouldnt issue the random missfire code,(hints no code),,,if anyone knows if this is posible PLEASE let me know? the only opther conditions being presented seem to be a nasty idle , low vacuum readings, and a terible miss, i have to fluff the throttleto rev the engine up, i can barely get it to go around 5, if i slowly rev it it will make it to about 4 then nearly cutt off (almost stall)
if any insight on this please let me know???

put a screwdriver on the injector and then put it to your ear and listen. if it ticks then it is working, if no tick then u got problems.

An injector can leak even if it makes ticking sounds.
It's possible for an injector to leak due to varnish build-up or possibly a particle in lodged in it. Corrosion can make them leak also. They shouldn't leak more than 1 drop per minute under pressure.
Most cars have a check valve that keeps the fuel rail pressurized.

Is this an FMU setup in the car? If so, what is your base fuel pressure and how much boost are you running?
A stuck open injector is very possible. Its called going static.

you can use a voltmeter to check for this. i am not to sure the coltage of a open injector but a closed injetctor would be 0. i believe the voltmeter should move between 0 and .1 or something like that but a voltmeter would check that for you.
