I have a 1991 Chevy s10 blazer 4x4 and I'm having trouble with starting it. It will start but sometimes die right away and other times it will stay on for a few seconds or I have to keep pumping the gas and sometimes even that won't work but once it stays on it runs fine

Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Have you checked the fuel filter?
