I have a 98 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.3. The van will turn over but not start so to see if it was a fuel problem or a spark problem I put raw gas in the intake and turned it over. It started and ran and I drove it about a mile. Parked it for 30 minutes and it would turn over but not start.

Repeat above.

Anybody have any idea where to start looking for the problem. It started right after we bought 20 bucks worth of fuel.

UPDATE: Have spark, No place to check fuel pressure

There is a fuel pressure test port. Right in the center of the fuel rail in front of the two middle intake runners.

Fuel pressure should be 49 psi key on engine off.

No, it doesn't necessarily have one. Most of the fuel pressure gauge kits come with adapters to you can "T" into various type line connections.

Ya, that one you have to T into a line on the supply side. Most master fuel pressure kits come with the adapters for that. Fuel pressure should be somewhere around 43-53 psi and should hold when you turn the pump off.
