Sounds like you have a bad battery. Dubble check the wire connection and harness to the alternator.
If the battery has less then 10.5 Volts the ECM shuts down the Engine and your Fuel pump doen't have enough power to sustain the right fuel pressure.
Good luck and hope this helps.

SOURCE: Chevy Suburban 1997 1500 won't start when Cold

it could be a tune up issue such as plug wires plugs . but my guess is its a computer engine temp sensor if it reads 5 degrees out of range it cuold give you a hard start or a no start problems the best way to look at this problem is with a scan tool when it is cold to see if the temp matches outside ambeint air temp 1 or 2 degrees ok b ut not 4 to five there is a nother way to check it buy useing dvom at a temp to omhs chart.

Hi, first check for vacuum leaks. Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r7427423-fix_poor_idle_high_idle_stalling_fuel . These are generic instructions. If you getstuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

Is the security light flashn after it dies?prob Pass lock. Google s10 pass lock...... Check your pump by clamping return fuel line an if it helps your fuel presssure low. May needa pump.
If I'm not mistaken it takes more pressure to crank than to run.

Ok, first, you need a new altemator. When you pulled off the battery cable with the truck running . it caused a voltage spike and fried the voltage regulator, which is internal on this particular altenator. If you want to check to see if the altenator is charging, use a volt meter.

Since it wouldn't start after you put the new altenator on, it could be one of two things, either you got a bad altenator which happens sometimes or, you have a weak battery and the altenator is tryng to charge itself to death.
