Re: S10 2.2L Cuts off while driving, then won't start

hi all boy was i glad to find this thread a few weks ago i bought a 96 s10 truck from a sweet old lady who insisted all was fine with truck just had to many cars but made me sighn a bill of sale saying absolutely sold a s is ha ha anyway i rtrailered it home drped the oil greased put 3 new u joints in fuel filter air filter plugs and wires bla bla bla llet it sit outside and run while i went in the house 4 coffee came out and it ad died tryed to start and it poped right off servise engine soon light was on then it died again clicking noise going on behind glove box as others have reported i turned key on and off a few tmes and it started ran it into advanced and they hooked it up didnt come back with any codes but light was not on then anyway drove home it seem fine when a mile away from home i really stomped on it and it died about 5 minutes of turning key on and off it started drove it home it seemed fine but died while idleing so walked away and read the posts here so i went to chevy garage and asked about oil sensor on my 96 2.2 he looked at wiring scematic and said it was absolutely tied into the fuel delivery system so i ordered the sensor 60 bucks ii cheaped out and cut a impact socket in half and welded a pipe in between and the weld caught on somthin and cocked and broke my sensor so i called stutavants and they handled delco sensors theres was 60 bucks with the special socket i should note that when it would not start i did not have any voltage at the fuel pump and when it did run i also shook the wires at the pump around when it was running as somebody here sugested and no change so anyway i replased sensor and its been good hree days now
