Turn the key and let the pump prime as soon as it's done the pressure drops down in one minute

By design the TBI regulator does not hold pressure. It has a bleed hole drilled in the casting. Even if it has a TPI style pump with a check valve in the pump it will bleed off unless that passageway is plugged.
