1995 chevy s-10 2.2
I bought it a couple weeks ago for a project truck but it ran pretty well at the time. a week after i bought it i decided to just drive it daily since my other truck got horrible gas mileage. first morning i drove it i was going down the road and it began to sputter and die on me. once i got it started again it ran absolutely fine up until i got to operating temperature then it sputtered and died again. i decided to change the spark plugs, oil, oil and air filters and spark plug wires too just to make sure that wasnt the problem. when i got under the hood i noticed the mass air flow sensor was unplugged so i plugged it back in and disconnected the battery for 10 minutes to reset the ECM. after i finished all that i started it up to see if it would run, it did for about 5 minutes. i got it back going and it warmed up to operating temperature and like clockwork is sputtered out and died.
Yesterday i replaced the fuel pump, strainer, filter and wiring harness in the gas tank. still the same symptoms. i swapped out the relay last night with a new one i picked up and that didnt do anything this morning. i also got the temp switch and temp sensor last night. one of them i believe the switch (near the thermostat if anyone could clear that up i'd appreciate it) and still the same symptoms. i cant find where the other one goes to save my life right now. does anyone have any idea what could cause the problems my truck is having?

Re: 1995 chevy s-10 2.2
its much cheaper to test things than just buy a ton of parts hoping it fixes it.
getting any check engine lights? will it start right back up after it sputters out? there could be a reason someone unplugged a sensor, might want to follow the main harness and check to see if anything else is unplugged, there are a ton of sensors.
