Do you mean the pressure is not correct with the engine (and fuel pump) running?

or do you mean the pressure will not hold when the fuel pump is not running?

If the fuel pump is not running, it is normal to see the fuel pressure drop to zero. (there is no accumulator in the system to hold pressure when pump is stopped)
