Fuel Problems

Ok, I cant seem to find my previous thread, so Ill start over. Im having problems (CYLINDER #3 comes up with a misfire), and it seems to be an injector issue...I have checked fuel pressusre, and it holds a pretty steady 60 psi, will driving it with a bad injector do any more damage/

I think I responded with something like the following.

Remove the injector connector from the wire harness and check the connector pins to be sure the sockets in the wire harness connector are tight. Then make sure it seats on the FI connector and the retainer clip clicks.

I did check the plug, it looked ok. I did notice that when it was plugged in, the engine made a clicking noise that seemed to be coming from that injector, and with it unplugged, the noise went away but with no change in the way it idled. How can I tell if it is sticking open?
