Check the starter selenoid, check for corrosion on batt, terminals and inside the cables, tap the starter with a metalic object and try to start the car, if it starts change the starter.

And you know the fuel filter is good? Could be injector problem: just as a check, spray some starting fluid into the intake and see if engine runs a few seconds. If it does, it is a fuel problem. Check injector fuse, as a start. Check fuel pressure. Check injector circuit. If engine won't start with starting fluid, check if you are getting spark. Problem may be in the ignition system.
SOUND LIKE SEVERE ENGINE MISFIRE HAVE VAN SCANNED AUTO ZONE WILL DO IT FOR FREE .BUT MAKE SURE FUEL FILTER NOT STOPPED UP MAKE SURE PLUGS AND WIRES IN GOOD SHAPE.FILL FUEL TANK UP.PUT A BOTTLE FUEL INJECTOR CLEAN IN FUEL TANK.TO CLEAN OUT FUEL INJECTORS WHILE YOU DRIVING THE VECHICLE.ALSO BAD COIL OR COILS WILL CAUSE ENGINE TO MISFIRE SHAKE.
Sounds like you are having a fuel pump problem. I'm dealing with the same thing right now. There is a Dodge Grand Caravan recall for the fuel rails. I would check into that. I would also check your relay for the fuel pump (in the fuse box under the hood). The recall could cause air to be sucked into the fuel filter so that could be a problem also. I hope that this helps!
Woah! Did you buy the van new? I ask this to see if you had a remote starter installed. Chrysler products are notorius for electrial problems, but it could be a remote starter wired improperly. Even if you didn't use the remote starter, if wired improperly, or a wire was shorting out somewhere, it could be responsible for your haunted van behavior. countrycurt0
