Damn cheap fuel rail clocks.... this would be a good time to upgrade to a pebble, you can get them with some cool skins.

Not sure what the "clock" is. Do you have pictures? Post some pictures or describe exactly what you broke and how you "fixed" it.

^ I love this.

A pebble is a watch designed to connect to a smart phone via bluetooth.

You can download new skins on your phone and change the face of the watch. It has nothing to do with a car.

Ok. Now I got it.
So, is the gauge showing any fuel pressure at idle?

car will not stay on so it doesn't idle......car starts but shuts right off.......if I play with the gas......the rpm jumps but it drops and car shuts off........the pressure gauge when ignition is on shows less than 10psi......but when the car starts for like 5 seconds it jumps to 42psi......but it will not stay on...so I cant really check fuel pressure to see what exactly is at

The only issue I've had like this was my IAC valve. Not necessarily the issue but could be something to check?

How did you 'fix' the gauge on the fuel rail?
Did it pull the threads out when it fell off?
Does it leak at all now that it's fixed?
Do you have an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator?
If so, is your vacuum line still connected at both ends?
