I can't find one and the manual says the fuel relief procedure is to pull the pump relay and run it out of gas. I'm starting to think it doesn't have one.

where?

I looked for a while. I think you have to have the right kit or rig something between the fuel line/fuel rail connection.

Hmmmm... I'm really hoping it exists but I've looked and looked. I watched a couple 01+ mopar videos where they needed to connect between the line and rail but nothing close enough to be specific to my model.

On some dodge vans there is a test port as part of the fuel line. Now if you don't have a test port,Then you need to remove the line and if you have the adapter to hook up your fuel gauge.

Yup it did. I have a little metal cap in that spot. It is definitely not a test port. Looks like this rig doesn't have one. Didn't find one on the fuel line either. It looks like I need to unhook the fuel line and use an adapter.

Problem found. With my hands tied on the fuel delivery issue I started poking around and found an oil fouled MAP sensor. The PCV went and now the intake is coated in oil.
