Hi there, thanks for writing in. To my knowledge, Dodge did not make significant changes from the 99 to 2000 Caravan 3.3 liter engine. However, with that being said, it's hard to know for 100% certainty that the fuel injector...
There is the possibility of a deeper electrical problem like a broken wire or corrosion inside a wire that may be very difficult to pick up on. Have an automotive technician experienced in diagnosing electical bugs dig out the problem....
