1998 Chevy S-10 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

was driving along doing 55 mph and the truck just lost power, like I had turn the key off, tried to clutch start it but wouldnt stay started, got over to the side of the road and sat for 45 minutes, trying to start every now and then, finally it started again, and I took off only to make it about a 1/4 mile down the road to have this happen again, and now it wont start at all. It will turn over, but will not stay started.I do smell fuel alot when try to start the truck. What should I look at first?

No start condition-Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/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 packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
