1994 S-10 4.3 shuts down after getting warmed up?

Name everything that can heat up and cause car to shut down with no fire yet after it cools will restart but as the day goes on it shuts down faster and takes longer before it restarts, I know for a fact this is spark related have changed coil and pick up coil already and it started both times but again there was time for it to cool while we did this also can a crank senser go out intermittently or all at once

    yes to your question on both about the crank sensor. same with the cam shaft sensor. i see that this is a new posting did you get the fuel pressure checked, if i remember right that model of s10 the pressure has to be checked with an in line pressure gauge. just curious, do you have a friend that has the exact same model of s10? if so see if his truck has the same sensor and equipment array as yours, if so pull his computer and stick it in your truck and run it until it warms up if it cuts out then you can rule that out. many folks will tell you that you have to worry about the prom id # ,,, not so. i know this from experience. just so long as it has the same # of o2 's, and all other sensors as your motor it will cross over. the spider unit under the intake plenum, have you gotten that checked out? it too is electrically operated. how about vacuum leaks? some only show up after the car is warmed up. just a few suggestions to try,hope one of them works for ya.
