Clogged fuel filter. Hole in the gas line.
air leek
water in the fuel can cause an idling motor to sputter and/or die.
In order to tell you that you would have to describe the noise and what the car is doing when the noise is made. Are you idling, driving, just turned the AC on? What is occurring and what is the noise? Idling and sounds worse when AC is on. Sounds like it is coming from the top of the engine. Vehicle has 120k miles
old fuel filter
It is over charged and builds to much pressure on the high side when the engine is at a higher RPM. Need to remove some feon.
What year S-10 and what engine you have would help.
It could be a variety of things, all having to do with the cooling system. Most likely it is a faulty engine fan that is supposed to automatically cut on when your engine hits a certain temp. It could the the fan motor itself, the relay that controls the fan, and maybe just a fuse. If the car does not overheat AT ALL in freeway driving (lots of cool air passing over the engine constantly) and overheats either idling or during city driving that engine fan is to blame.
spark plug gap Can also be a vacuum leak.
Added weight, bad air filter, bad driving habits, engine wear.
Loose motor mounts.
Sounds like a misfire caused by electric supply to plugs.
Without an oil filter in place the engine oil would just be pumped out of the engine , so the engine would run until the engine seized
