My 98 gmc 1500 V8 5.0l won't start. Has good spark

Spray starting fluid into the air intake of the engine, if it starts and you have fuel pressure you have no injection or injector pulse as we call it. Check ECM fuse one and two for continuity if it starts with fluid..

Why would a 1990 Chev. Start hard and die shortly after starting in cooler weather? It should go into high idle immediately and run fine... It will crank over for 4 or 5 seconds, then fire and die shortly...

Sounds like the fuel supply through is inadequate. That is a Want-to-be fuel injection system that uses a relay to enrichen the gas mixture.

Solution could be a container of fuel system cleaner, and a spray or two of carb cleaner in the injector.

Other causes could be:
Failure of the "choke" to richen the gas mixture
Vacuum line leakage.
Fuel filter becoming clogged

Car dies during rapid acceleration. Restarts and idles.

These kinds of troubles should show as a fault on the engine computer. Rent your own scanner and have someone watch it while you try to drive the car. The primary thing you are looking for is whether it is a fuel or ignition problem--sudden stops point to ignition failures as fuel problems usually stumble to a stop. I'm assuming that the engine uses throttle-body fuel injection rather than direct multi-port injection. With throttle body injection, only one injector is involved, and it could cause sudden engine stoppage if the injector solenoid coil opens or loses operating signals when hot. An intermittent crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor can cause these problems. I assume that the engine never exceeds the normal operating temperature. An ignition problem could involve any component of the ignition circuitry including 12 volt supply, but not the spark plugs or plug wiring.
