I have had my s10 for about 4 months now and only recently I have had problems starting it. When I turn the key the engine hesitates to turn over and it sounds like my battery is dead but I had it checked and the battery is ok. When it starts it has a tendancy to shut off as soon as it starts. When I turn it off and restart the engine it runs fine but I havent driven it since this problem started because I dont want to risk shutting off while im driving. If anybody can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Have you tried cranking in neutral? Intermittent issues are hard to track, you have to do the testing when the problem occurs. I'd still have to check the battery and cables.

The stalling maybe a fuel issue? Use a gage and check fuel pressure. That spider fuel system is noted for problems.
