I own a 1998 Chevy S10, 4.3 liter (X) engine, two wheel drive extended cab. About a week ago, I drove 10 min. to the store, got back in the truck, and it started and stalled after about 1 to 2 seconds. I came back to the truck about a half hour later and it was fine. ..Two days later, it did the same thing, but I don't believe I had driven it yet that day, the engine may have been cold. I replace the fuel filer, the fuel pump is pumping at 58 psi. it then started fine.
Now today, I drove to the store , about 10 minutes, get back in the truck and it starts, then stalls after 1 to 2 seconds. I'm lost on this one, fuel pump relay..?, or ignition switch..? I'm not even sure where those are located.
Thanks,

there is no engine light on, so i would say there are no codes that would appear on a scan, i just got the truck home,....it seems that if i let it sit, or cool down, it will start again, would this possible be an ignition module?

There may still be codes regardless of no light. I have seen ignition modules act in this manner. While it is hot, and the problem is happening, you can troubleshoot. But you may need to buy a thing or two.
