Starts and stalls

I own a 1998 Chevy S10, 4.3 liter (X) engine, two wheel drive extended cab. About a week ago, I drove 10 min. To the store, got back in the truck, and it started and stalled after about 1 to 2 seconds. I came back to the truck about a half hour later and it was fine.. Two days later, it did the same thing, but I don't believe I had driven it yet that day, the engine may have been cold. I replace the fuel filer, the fuel pump is pumping at 58 psi. It then started fine.
Now today, I drove to the store, about 10 minutes, get back in the truck and it starts, then stalls after 1 to 2 seconds. I'm lost on this one, fuel pump relay, or ignition switch? I'm not even sure where those are located.
Thanks,

Are there any codes in the computer?

You mentioned it was similiar to the 5.3 post.

Does yours ever not start?

There is no engine light on, so I would say there are no codes that would appear on a scan, I just got the truck home. It seems that if I let it sit, or cool down, it will start again, would this possible be an ignition module?

There may still be codes regardless of no light. I have seen ignition modules act in this manner. While it is hot, and the problem is happening, you can troubleshoot. But you may need to buy a thing or two.
