1997 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

hello ! My friend was driving this van and it just shut off and it wont start back up now. It was low on oil so we filled it back up and I un hooked the battery and thought maybe it would reset itself and start but no luck. Could it be the crank sensor

To determine if its fuel or spark problem do below and see what happens

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors-
