Default 2006 caravan stalling issue

I have a problem 2006 Caravan used for work purposes. It keeps quitting on the street AFTER the carrier has it out and it's warmed up. It does this sporadically. Once it quits, it won't start, won't jump and has to be towed in. Then after it sits for awhile - - it starts. Last time it happened was last Thursday, had it towed to the dealership, Thursday night they went out to get numbers, it started then. They let it sit the weekend and it started this morning.
The starter, alternator, key switch and battery have all been replaced. The dealership is at a loss of what to do -- they can't replicate the problem.

any ideas??

look at the fuel pump. i had the same problem with a 96 caravan. the pump overheats then quits. after it cools, it will work again.

when it quits does it still crank? do you have headlights?

your gonna have to find what goes away when it dies(spark,fuel,compression)
gonna say right now dont concern with compression, find out if spark and fuel are present when it dies.
could just be some wires corroded or melted?

copletely unrelated but
i had a 96 that would die somewhere in the PCM while driving, just as a lark gave it a tap with a mallet one day when it had died and it fired right up, drove that pile of crap for about another year having to tap the PCM whenever it decided to act up.
