turn the key on and see the pressure. should be around 55-60. turn the key off and it should remain there or a little lower. if it drops off to 0 then you have a bad injector. by pulling the code for the check light, it will tell you the cylinder for the bad injector.

This is a Vortec engine and the injectors are not accessible from the outside. Beside a leaking injector, it's very common to have a leaking regulator or line that will give you the same result.
