I have a 1992 chevy s10 pickup 4 cylinder. It shut off on me while driving 11 days ago. It started back up about an hour later. It was/is getting fuel to where the air filter is. Started and ran fine for 4 days, then shut off again 30 seconds after starting in parking lot, would not start. Replaced the ignition coil, distributor cap, rotor button, spark plugs, and plug wires. Started up right away. Worked for 3 days and today shut down while driving again. So I replaced the ignition switch. Does not start. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

Have you actually checked to see if you're losing spark? When you say you have fuel, do you see it spraying from the injector when cranking the engine? When the engine stalls, does it lose power gradually over a period of a few seconds, or does it quit instantly just like if you turned the ignition switch off? Have you checked for diagnostic fault codes?
