Left(drivers)side showing what I believe is the fuel line going into the rail(just below the white electrical connector.
Left(drivers)side showing the fuel line into the left rail and the rubber hose connecting the left and right rails.
Right(passenger)side rail. Don't see any lines except for the rubber hose coming from the left side rail.
Is the one that you say does NOT come off the fuel line in the middle of the left(drivers)side rail? If so, where is/are the fuel line(s)? If not, where is the one that doesn't come off?
Thank you so much for your help so far.

Ok. Thank you! I'm gonna remove the intake, even if it's not necessary just to have more room and a better look at things(I've seen guys say it is necessary to remove the rails).

So I just saw a video on a different vehicle(Ford I think)and the dude removed the fuel pump/system fuse, then started the engine to burn off fuel in the system. Good idea or bad?

Do you mean replace the plenum gasket and timing chain?

Correct. If the plenum hasn't already been done, it is highly likely past time for it to happen. (common problem.) And if you are over 100K miles, the timing chain is likely rather sloppy. Both are recommended repairs by the experts here.

Yes replace the plenum gasket and use shorter bolts, most also do an aluminum plate and replace the timing chain with a Cloyes Double Roller.

Thanks to you and Hey You for the advice. Money is really tight right now, so I'm just doing the injectors.
What are your thoughts on removing the fuel pump/system fuse and running the engine until it dies, removing fuel from the lines? I've never done that before.

Just yank the fuel pump relay, and the fuse, in the PDC, crank the engine, if it starts, let it run till it quits. Doesn't hurt to be safe.
