I have a 1990 Dodge grand caravan, it starts all the time, all of a sudden it wont start, it turns over but wont start we put more gas in and tried to start it but it wants to start but it wont. a mechanic said its not the fuel pump but it could be the coil we dont kknow for sure we checked the fuses nothing any suggestions
Have the fault codes read first
items that will cause what you describe are crank/ cam position sensor/s and wiring but that is a guess until the codes are read

A bad earth connection point on my New Zealand model Chrysler Voyager LE (same car as yours but right hand drive) caused similar problems, including the towing thing. My dealer told me that they would be busy for 3 weeks - dealer talk for "we would prefer to sell you a new one".
A bunch of black wires connect to a chassis ground bolt on my model on the right hand side wall, under dashboard height. I was "lucky" to have the fault present when investigating it, and testing I did afterwards proved this to be a definite cause. You have to remove some covers and pull the floor carpet away This may be on the left on your model. A plug in connector is used, to bring multiple wires together at this point. All I had to do was undo the nut and clean the metal of the bolt and earth lug - use a file or sandpaper, and maybe spray on some WD40 or CRC to impove conductivity. I added an extra washer to help the metal to metal bond also.This seems to have fixed the problem. It has been OK now for about 1000 miles. Good luck !

I recently had the same issue, but my airbag warning lights also turned on. If this is the case, it might be the clockspring. There is a recall on clocksprings for Caravans 1998 - 2000 I believe. I got it replaced for free in the dealership. Enter your VIN in this site and it will tell you if you are covered in the free replacement warranty.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: installed new fuel pump and it still wont start.
I had the same problem. I had to put in a 22 gage fusable link. It had burned out. I first thought it was the fuel pump.
