My S-10 on the way home died 2 times on the way home today, engine cut out at the light as I was accelerating off the line. Got home barely replaced some fuses tried giving it gas in neutral seems fine. Tested to see what happend when I moved and it died again. Fired it back up and pulled back into my parking stall. So I dont think that its the fuel pump because in neutral its getting gas and the rpm's are moving normal but for some reason when I engage the Clutch it dies. Its a fairly new clutch aswell less then 50,000 on it. Distributor maybe? Or that clutch sensor thing by the pedal maybe I dont know? Anyways any advice or help you can offer would be awesome.

The clutch safety switch doesn't do anything after the car is started. Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

Let me know.
