You need to check the crankshaft position sensor located on the top of the intake near the rear of the back side of the altenator the wire is usually attached to the alternator bracket my 1997 grand caravan 3.3 did the same thing good luck
AnswerIt sounds as if you have an ignition module going out, or a fuel pump/relay failing.This is very dangerous as the vehicle could stall out at any moment leading up to an accident. You should'nt drive this thing until the problem is fixed.
Also be sure the fuel filter isn't plugged up, replace it.

BAD FUEL PUMP OR CLOGGED FUEL FILTER
Frequently while slowing down to my 1991 caravan stops. I have to turn the key and restart it or it will stop completely. Why does this happen.
Timing belt or tensioner, loss of charging, fuel pump, ignition module among others. This year and model has a recall posted for the ignition switch. When the faulty ignition switch becomes worn over time, the vehicle will begin to intermittently and suddenly shut off while driving or while standing and idling. The recall notice says that the car will be able to restart but will continue to intermittently shut off without warning.
I had this happen to me once. It was a bad alternator.
It would die and not restart. Yes it may restart! I have had modules quit when they get hot and work again when they cooled down.

check your crank sensor
Bad fuel filter or maybe some water in the gas tank.
that sounds like your starter motor isn't working, which would explain why there is no noise when you try to restart it
No you were driving and it quit.and if it cranks it is turning over. check for spark at the spark plugs and also for fuel pressure at the injector rail.

Here is the command for computer restart: shutdown -r -t 0 -c "Optional" The syntax "shutdown" commands the computer to start shutdown command with a given parameter. "-r" is the keyword for restart. Please use "-s" to shutdown. "-t 0" is used as a timer before shutdown. We used 0 to restart the computer immediately after the command has been read. "-c "Optional"" is used for comment. You can restart computer without comment parameter.
