I had the same problem with my 97. I've had so many problems with the van that I'm getting to know it really well. Anyway, I removed the engine cover and sprayed the cap and plug wires with wire-dryer, (of course the way they have the plugs fashioned in these vans is a problem in itself, difficult to spray) this took care of the problem for me, I actually sprayed it twice. After spraying it the first time I let it sit for a few hours and then it started. I repeated it again the next day for good measure. Once it happened again and I was leaning towards the fuel pump, (which I've had replaced) but it turned out to be a cracked distributor cap. I hope this helps.
