I doubt very seriously if that is your problem. Go to the basics, fuel spark and timing and check for fault codes

Unless it was almost empty when the gallon of E85 was put in.

Sure it would, if that's all the fuel he's got....
Speaking of which, is the 1997 Caravan certified for E-85? I know the 1998 one is.
(Even if it isn't, of course, the original poster's car shouldn't have been clobberred by the fuel).

At E50 or more the engine might be too lean to start without having a "learning" period on the mix. Not likely - but possible. Easy to fix though - just add gasoline.
