Default 99 Grand Caravan stalling

I have a 99 grand caravan 3.8L that is experiencing a stalling problem. It always seems to be at low speed either backing out of the driveway or slowing to turn onto a street. There are times where it would stall just slowing afor a stop sign. There are 2 other caravans in my extended family... a 97 and a 96. Both had similar problems and the solution was to replace the fuel pump. Going with the odds, I replaced my fuel pump but the problem still occurs (there went $200). No check-engine light, no sputtering, no complete failure. When it stalls, I pop it into N and hit the key and she starts right up again without hesitation. This is getting dangerous as my wife is the main driver and we have 2 small children.

I'm looking for the next most likely cause of the problem and suggestions on how to diagnose it without throwing money away like I did with the fuel pump.

Thanks, in advance, for your constructive suggestions.
