Your 1991 4.3 S10 starts for about 3 seconds then shuts down because it is faulty. Take it to mechanic to have it checked.
Your 1991 4.3 S10 could be having mechanic problems that is why it starts for a couple of seconds then it shuts down.A plugged up fuel filter could cause that. Replace the fuel filter first before you start throwing big money into it.A possible factor for a 1991 S10 not staying started is a bad alternator, or starter.
try checking your catalyctic converter
check the air filter sensors, make sure its sealed. itll sound like its stalling out after a few seconds to a few minutes

Duke's. It shuts down and he starts going to McGinty's (sp?)
If it starts at all I'd say it isn't the key, check the MAF sensor.
Emissions problems. Check to see if the EGR valve is working correctly, the IAC valve, coolant temp sensor (the one beside the thermostat), and the MAP sensor. These sensors are used by the PCM to run your engine. Fuel overload has been a prob with mine...time to check the PCM next.
A failed computer is possible, It could also be the cluster, wiring, ignition switch, etc.
If your Dakota shuts down after 5 or 10 seconds then change the map sensor. If it shuts down after 3 or 4 minutes of driving and won't restart look for a bad harmonic balancer. Experienced both!
computer doesn't meet the requirements.
Could be as simple as a clogged fuel filter.
it's your crank sensor as soon as the engine gets warm it shut offs. let it cool down and the car starts back up.
