i had the exact same problem with my 93 s10. i replaced the fuel filter thinking it might have been clogged. it ran fine for about a week and it shut off in the exact same spot. so i left it there, it got broken into, we got it back to my house changed the fuel pump relay (closest to the driverside fender) you could hear the fuel pump kick on but it wasnt getting enought fuel to the injectors so we changed out yet another fuel filter. that wasnt it so we went to a local auto parts store bought a fuel pump and the ring to hold it in for about $80. the easiest way to get to the fuel pump specially if your truck is lowered is to take the box off. the fuel pump is right there on the fuel tank. its pretty easy to take apart and put back together. so what would have cost me $550 only cost me $80. if you cant hear the fuel pump kick on it could either be a $10 relay or just the fuel pump. and if you can hear the fuel pump kick on but it doesnt want to start change out the fuel filter if you havent tried it already. and then if it still doesnt work change the fuel pump. and if it does work you have a few new parts that hopefully you wont have to worry about for a while. BUY THE MOST EXPENSIVE PUMP FROM THE STORE! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. IF ITS CHEAP IT WONT LAST LONG.
