Default 99 Caravan wont start

hello all.. just brought home my new (to me) caravan yesterday.. its the the 3.0 in it.. drove it all afternoon after i bought it.. ran fine.. no problems.. other than the torque converter code it spits out on the c/e light.. but i got about a block away from home with it.. and took off from the stop sign and it 'gave out' almost like i shut it off and turned it back on quick.. thought maybe a fluke.. but no.. while i was pulling in my driveway .. it died.. hasnt ran since.. i put a new fuel pump and filter in it.. because i was barely getting any fuel at the rail.. now i get lots of it.. steady flow.. good pressure.. but it STILL wont start.. i checked spark.. all plugs get spark.. i was thinking fuel pressure regulator.. but i am being told it is in the tank.. on the pump.. in which i just replaced.. and it appears it came with a new one already.. they were identical.. i am getting +12v at the pump when the key is cranked.. not sure what to do now.. or where to go.. when i go to start it.. it fires.. tries to go it acts like.. then no dice.. any ideas would help me out a great deal.. thanks!
