no it bleeds off, then when u turn the key and wait to start engine lite goes off ur lift pump has already supplied the IP with the amount of fuel it needs.

Right after you shut it off there maybe a little pressure if you loosen the banjo bolt

when you park it try parking it down hill and see if it starts better when cold. if it starts better then it's your cross over tube o-rings
