ok, heres what is happening: Just driving down the road, occasioanlly the van just dies.....im talking about full blown 60mph here with no hesitation, not running rough, nothing. So i jam it into neutral and crank it back up and it goes a week before it does it again. Heres the real kicker, IF i run the A/C it does it everyday. It feels just like you turned off the ignition. I dont even know where to begin so if you have ANY suggestions shoot em my way. My wife is about ready to string me up if i dont get this fixed soon.......

There is several possible issues.
I would first start out by looking for trouble codes.
Click the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON (Dont turn far enough to start the engine) and leave it on. The mileage meter will report trouble codes.
Read the code and compare it to the list on the dodgetalk caravan home page.
Also give us year and engine.
Several sensors can cause this problem. Also a dirty throttle body.
Good Luck,
Tom
