92 3.0 pickup...will start, then ticks and dies

So, my problem has reoccured for the past couple of months, but comes and goes as it pleases. Basically what is happening is at random my truck will start, run for about 3 seconds and then die. Every time there is one (tick) sound coming from the glove box area. I have done some research and haven't found anything similar to this problem. It will start fine for weeks, then when I am pressed for time it decides to die. When this problem occurs i can actually keep the rpm's up by feathering the gas and keep my truck running, but the first stop light I come to it dies. I hunch is that it is a starter problem...but I am not sure. Any help or advise for diagnosing this problem would be great.
As a side note, my truck runs great. It starts up quickly, and idles perfectly. I haven't been able to solve this issues because there really aren't any tell tale signs that i can identify. Thanks for the help
