If it will start right up when the engine cools, it is probably a pickup coil. This exact thing happened to my '92. Pull the distributor and you can replace the pickup coil for under $100. It was a pain to figure out though.

It could also be the fuel pump. They do go out on these. Get the heavy duty replacement not the stock replacement and it will last forever.

I have had lots of these S-10's. Good trucks. My dad's old '91 that my brother drives now has 211k on it and still runs strong.
