It sounds like you may have lost the signal from the crank or cam sensor. Check for any wires rubbed through in the harnesses or unplugged sensors. If the coil is not being told to fire, it won't. If the motor has just been changed, the most likely culprits are a sensor that wasn't plugged in completely and came loose (may still look plugged in, feel each sensor plug to be sure it is caught) or a harness that was run incorrectly and is pulling or rubbing through (look for any wires that seem to be in the wrong place or seem too tight.) Good luck.
Hello famo4.
You didn't mention what engine is in your Caravan so I will generalize my answer somewhat.
Have you checked other basic items such as timing?
What is your fuel pressure reading?
Is there spark to all plugs?
If your engine is equipped with a timing belt it may have slipped some teeth and thrown off the crank to camshaft timing. If it completely let go it will not have spark.
Check that much out and tell me what you find.

it has a 3.o L v6 fuel
injected it had no spark. If it jumped a tooth would't it have a rough
idle and still run. but it won't start and it was running good when it
just died
OK famo.
Check the timing belt and see if it is turning. If the cam doesn't turn your distributor won't either, so no spark..
And what if it skipped several teeth ? It wouldn't run if it did.
So lets start with the easy and obvious before we continue.
The front cover over the cam pulley is easy to remove to verify the cam is turning and checking the belt condition. Check all of the belt out carefully for missing teeth while you are there.
