1992 s 10, 4.3. When its cold and I start it, it dies after a few seconds. I have to keep on the gas until its warmed up and it stays running and good.
it has brand new. Gas tank, fuel filter, injectors and fuel pump.

Check the coolant temp sensor, if this is faulty the ECU will think the engine is warm and the incorrect cold start and run settings will be applied, also check the IAC as well, start here.

The temp sensor is broken! It has been long before this problem occured. Should I still replace it?

Yes I would, also run a scan after clearing any codes when you replace the sensor.
