Best Answer

Check/change the spark plugs first. (4 NGK iridium plugs, about 25 dollars a plug)
Plug wires next.
Coils after that. (stock coils fail when spark plugs foul)

If the issue is not resolved by the ignition fixes, get a compression check from a rotary knowledgeable mechanic.

What would cause severe engine power loss and the service engine light to come on in a 1987 S-10 Chevy blazer after about ten miles of driving?

The first thing that comes to mind is the catalytic converter plugging up after driving a short distance and clearing itself after sitting for a period of time. Take it to a muffler shop for an expert opinion. The plugging of the converter would cause a huge power loss and the resulting restricted exhaust gasses would cause your check engine light to come on since the oxygen sensor would be giving the computer bad information.
