    Can you feel the engine misfire? Any other codes? Which engine is in your S10? Manual or automatic transmission?

    It look like you have taken care of the ignition possibilities. There still could be a mechanical fault - check compression. Or a fuel injector or injector signal fault. If you can feel the misfire, monitoring the engine with a quality scan tool should help pinpoint the cylinder causing the misfire.

    As I have learned through trying to figure out my problem, a bad mass air flow sensor can cause misfire codes, sense it regulates and measures the amount of air that passes through, the three main components of a running engine is fire, fuel, and air, to much or too little air can cause all the problems that you have discribed, also the mass air flow sensor is notorious for going out on these engines
